A flamenco theme, the joy and fear of a fragile, new love dying.

Oh the moon, oh the moon seems so different tonight
Maybe it's your dancing, maybe it's a little too much wine
Oh the stars in the sky seem to be smiling down
Maybe they are, maybe they are, maybe I've just learned how to see them

Oh dance a little more, the night is young, let it hold you
And in the wine-lit candle light your hair it flies, my heart does too
I know that the stars must go, and oh I fear their going
Oh dance a little more, the night is young

Oh the life I lived before seems so different tonight
Maybe it's your dancing, maybe it's your road so like my own
Oh the songs I've sung before seem so much sweeter tonight
Maybe they are, maybe they are
Maybe you've taught me how to feel them

Oh stay a while more, the night is young, let me hold you
Your body in the candle light, I watch you as you sleep the night
I know that all songs must end, and oh I fear their going
Oh stay a while more, the night is young
