What A Littlemoonlight Can Do
Diana Ross · Other Songs - Diana Ross
Ooh, what a little moonlight can do to you
You're in love
Your hearts a flutter
And all day long you only shutter
'Cause your poor tongue
Just won't utter the words "I love you"
Ooh, what a little moonlight can do
Wait a while
'Till the little moonbeams comes peeking through
You get bold
You can't resist him
All you say
When you kissed him is
Ooh, what a little moonlight can do
What A Littlemoonlight Can Do
Recorded by Diana Ross, this track exemplifies the lush, romantic ballad style that defined her solo career in the early 1970s. The song features sweeping orchestral arrangements and Ross's emotive vocal delivery, characteristic of the era's pop and R&B fusion. While often associated with her work on the album Surrender, the recording stands as a testament to her ability to craft intimate, atmospheric pieces that highlighted her vocal range. The composition relies on subtle musical dynamics and lyrical themes of quiet intimacy rather than overt drama, reflecting the softer side of her discography during this period. It remains a notable example of the polished production quality that Ross brought to her solo recordings, distinguishing her from the more theatrical styles of her earlier Motown years.
