Lyrics

Come a little bit closer Hear what I have to say Just like children sleeping We could dream this night away But there's a full moon rising Let's go dancing in the light We know where the music's playing Let's go out and feel the night
Because I'm still in love with you I want to see you dance again Because I'm still in love with you On this harvest moon
When we were strangers I watched you from afar When we were lovers I loved you with all my heart But now it's getting late And the moon is climbing high I want to celebrate See it shining in your eye

About This Song

Harvest Moon is Neil Young's 1992 folk-rock ballad that occasionally appears at bluegrass jams, though it's more common in acoustic singer-songwriter circles than traditional bluegrass sessions. The song's gentle, romantic mood and walking bass line translate well to acoustic arrangements.
