Night Music
Art & Lyrics
This song goes "way back" for me. You have heard this expression before: “Nighttime is the right time to be with the one you love". Let’s face it, God thought of everything! He knew that guys weren’t as pretty to look at as ladies are, so he thought it was best to dim the lights. And then he hung the moon and threw some stars across the sky as a bonus. Voila! This is a song with a Caribbean flavor that expresses my thoughts, feelings, and mood about an evening when everything has fallen into place and now it's just you and me. You know what I mean… The word "groovin'" comes to mind.

Night Music Words & music JRRothrock 6/21/1993
Daylight come and gone away-ay. Lightning bug come out to play-ay-ay-ay.
A gentle breeze kiss the bay…Palm trees, they begin to sway-ay-ay-ay.
Moonbeams dance upon the wa-aves. Cricket chirp as if to say-ay-ay-ay…
“Hey, everything gonna be ok-ay… when the night music begin to play-ay-ay-ay.”
Listen! Can you hear it?
Ocean motion mesmerizes me. Twinkling star… hypnotizes me.
Your gentle touch energizes me… as you synchronize with me.
Listen closely as I hold you near… and Nature’s Symphony you will hear.
Just move your body in time with mine…
And oh, Baby! Yes, you got the rhythm right!
The night music… echoes through the night!

Daylight’s come and gone away. Lightning bug come out to play-ay-ay-ay …
The gentle breezes kiss the bay. The palm trees, they begin to sway-ay-ay-ay.
Moonbeams dance upon the wa-aves. The crickets chirps as if to say-ay-ay-ay …
“Hey, everything’s gonna be ok-ay… when the night music sweeps you away-ay-ay-ay!
Oh, Baby… can you feel it?

Listen closely as I hold you near… and Nature’s Symphony you will hear.
Just move your body in time with mine… And oh, Baby… Yeah, you got the rhythm right!
…Were makin’ Nature’s music… dancing in the night!

Now, I beg your pardon, but Miss, if you please…
I gotta tell you, I could love you with ease!
Watching you move has left me weak in the knees.
Get swept away by the soft night music!
Hey, little girl, you’re as cool as the breeze.
Moon beams and star lights carry soft melodies
…that move your branches like the wind in the trees
…and I see it shakin’ those sweet, sweet coconuts!
Now, I beg your pardon, but Miss, if you please…
I gotta tell you, I could love you with ease!
Watching you move has made me weak in the knees.
Get swept away by that soft night music!
Hey, little girl, you’re as cool as the breeze.
Moon beams and starlight carry soft melodies
…that move your branches like the wind in the trees
…and I see it shakin’ those sweet, sweet coconuts!
Now, I beg your pardon, but Miss, if you please…
I gotta tell you, I could love you with ease!
Watching you move has left me weak in the knees.
Get swept away by that soft, soft music!
Hey Girl… let your hair down… all over me…
