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 eyeDemo Videos
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.
