Anne Murray - Shadows in the Moonlight (lyrics)

1st track from "New Kind of Feeling" (1979). "At first glance, multiple award-winning singer Anne Murray looks like your friend's mom who decided to start a music career, or at the very least someone who went CRAZY at Glamour Shots. But don't be fooled by her mom-ish charm, Anne Murray soared to #1 on both the Country and Billboard charts in 1979 with this hit 'Shadows in the Moonlight'—so she apparently does a lot more than cut your meat and drive you to soccer practice.

"In many ways, this song is the bizarro twin of 'Afternoon Delight' since it describes a couple who can only meet each other late at night. So yeah, think again young 'Johnny' before you sneak off to meet your girlfriend at 2:00 a.m. Mother knows."

(Btw, Hello Loser ranks Shadows in the Moonlight at #95)

"We'll be Shadows in the Moonlight,
Darlin' I'll meet you at midnite.."
Anne's songs are priceless and every time I listen to her rendition, I am reminded of our young days. Whenever there was a shutdown in the summer, we will all come out from our homes ..me and my friends from the neighborhood, and we will sit outside in our backyard and used to sing this song loudly, making my mom to come out & join us.
Sigh! Now many of us already drifted apart, some died (including my parents) and we lived our own busy lives. One hardly had time to sit back and enjoy. But the sweet memories still lived on ! Many of Anne's songs reflect our heartaches and beautiful romances. The Lyrics told 'em all. God Bless You Always, Anne. Am glad you're a part of Us .. ❤❤❤

Gotta love those back up singers with all their “ooos and ahhhhs”!! Great song from the best era in music - the late ‘70’s & early ‘80’s.

[gusgarza]

Still listening to this Beautiful Voice in 2021!

[scottlight]

One of her BEST songs! I sure miss that smooth late ‘70’s sound! Glad I got to live it!

Romantic video to go with an awesome song.

A song that had less sophistication in their lyrics.. with a theme most listeners can relate to.. and a melody .. simply in its structure yet lasting in memory.. a classic by a legendary singer .. Anne Murray..

[wmpetroff]

The visual of heavy romance approaches the limit of decency. However, being hosted by the elegant mildness of Anne Murray keeps things ok.

Love the visuals. Music is fuzzy but I found that on all of the videos with this song. Thank you. Love it.

There'll be shadows in the moonlight, darlin I'll meet you after midnight. You won't need a thing, just bring your live for me. To the MAN who asked, "Are you leavin' me?". HELL

Who are the 13 people that dislike this song video? They must be very dull people to have any relationship with.

Porke ya no hay karaoke con letra de está linda canción

[maritzaosores]

Solo hay instrumental, a mí me encantaba cantar está canción

The Caretaker fans: This isn't what I asked for!

Hermoso temon de fines de los gloriosos años 70s época que no volverá lo se pero me queda la satisfacción de haberla vivido y gozado soy un agradecido
