Moonlight Madness

Bee Gees · Other Songs - Bee Gees

It's the midnight hour and I with you were here

Somebody following me, I just can't sleep alone

I figure it's the way I am or a thing that

Happened to me somewhere in my childhood



I'm all that I could ever be in your arms

It's like I can't imagine life without you

But all my women cry

And all my heroes die or we could try a little



Moonlight madness

We could do the strangest things

Try a little moonlight madness

Let someone in your dreams



Or we could try a little moonlight madness

Living on the same old lies

We should not try to find the meaning

Let history decide



Whether it's right or wrong to give you

What I may give you

How we learn to do the things, we never do

Let me try a little moonlight madness on you



I cry with a smile and I laugh with a tear

I struggle but the body won't move

And the quicksand pulls me down

I wanna be the man that you think I am



I follow in the steps of the one

Who knows the darkness well

And you can get me by your side

By talking to me with your eyes



Not breaking promises

I'm howling at the moon

I'm howling, howling at the moon

Or we could try a little



Moonlight madness

We could do the strangest things

Try a little something different

The mystery remains



Whether it's right or wrong to love each other

Yearning in the brain for something new

Let me try a little moonlight madness

Try a little moonlight madness

Try a little moonlight madness on you



Try a little moonlight madness

Let someone in your dreams

As a recording from this era, it highlights the brothers' mastery of vocal layering and their ability to craft atmospheric, danceable tracks that blended R&B influences with sophisticated pop structures. The song remains a staple of their discography, illustrating their enduring influence on the development of disco and modern pop music through its intricate arrangements and memorable melodic hooks.
