Moon Over Miami
The lights of Little Havana glowed
And in the cantinas tequila flowed
Wisps of starlight filled the sky
As the moon over Miami drew nigh
The senorita dipped and swayed
All over the streets the music played
In a joyous frenzy her lover danced
And the lady fell deeply entranced
They kissed and moved to a Latin beat
As the notes rose in the Miami heat
Then the distant moon grew big and bright
Soon covering that Miami night
They fell in love as they twirled and turned
And all the while their passion burned
The moon over Miami shivered
As their lovers' quest was soon delivered
