Come a little bit closer
Hear what I have to say
Just like children sleepin'
We could dream this night away.
But there's a full moon risin'
Let's go dancin' in the light
We know where the music's playin'
Let's go out and feel the night.
Because I'm still in love with you
I wanna 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 gettin' late
And the moon is climbin' high
I want to celebrate
See it shinin' in your eye.
Because I'm still in love with you
I wanna see you dance again
Because I'm still in love with you
On this harvest moon.
| robinvankuijk | Posted: Jun 14, 2013 - 00:32 His best song. I'm not a big fan of his other work because of his 'wining' voice, but in this song it suites the music perfectly. Nice and laid back  |
| mojcamojca77 (Idrija) | Posted: May 13, 2013 - 04:20  fits perfectly in this day :-) |

| LizK (Houston, Texas) | Posted: Mar 11, 2013 - 12:08 A very special NY- the voice doesn't go wildly sharp. Makes listening to the music mraning much better. |

| LaFranna (Heidelberg, Germany) | Posted: Sep 04, 2012 - 02:33 The perfect soundtrack to Gordon PInsent and Julie Christie's poignant, elderly, tete-a-tete dancing in the Sarah Polley film "Away From Her". |
| ottovonb | Posted: Aug 03, 2012 - 15:31 Okay, that does it. I'm sending RP the cash. Keep up the great work guys. Damn this is just a really good radio station! |

| ScottishWillie (The Scottish Lowlands) | Posted: Jun 01, 2012 - 08:10 I’ve just read the whole of the first page of posts about this song and “fredriley” makes the only negative comment to be seen. Its not often you get just one person per page taking a pop at a Neil Young song on Radio Paradise. The man is a genius be it rock, pop or acoustic (grunge, electronic, country or a ballad) he’s performing. |
| fredriley (Nottingham, UK) | Posted: Jun 01, 2012 - 08:03 Great songwriter, shame about the voice. For some reason, Neil Young's voice always reminds me of the Hollywood actor, Bruce Dern. I suspect that Bruce can sing rather better, mind. |
| OHMish (Copenhagen) | Posted: Jun 01, 2012 - 08:03 aaaaah  |
| Josua (Cartagena, Spain.) | Posted: Jun 01, 2012 - 08:02 Sweet melody. |

| Sorcha (living in the Creative spaces in my mind....) | Posted: Jan 26, 2012 - 11:39 Such a simple, touching song. I've loved it from the first listen back in the 90s when the CD came out. |
| Baketown (Maryland) | Posted: Jan 26, 2012 - 11:38 In my book this is Neil's most complete album from start to end, no filler!! |
| shellbella (so california) | Posted: Jan 26, 2012 - 11:36 One of my all time favorites... Thank you Radio Paradise!!!! |

| wycado (Smoking cigarettes and plotting revenge) | Posted: Sep 21, 2011 - 18:10 When I hear his songs like this it makes me wistful because he's getting up there in age, and I feel like I've known him my entire life. If I find myself paddling in a canoe on a calm lake looking at my wonderful wife, I'll play this song. |

| Dave_Mack (Picking cherries) | Posted: Mar 16, 2011 - 17:11 A very nice tune. But I think I need a rocker soon. This set is lulling me a bit. |

| Randomax (Wimberley, TX) | Posted: Aug 07, 2010 - 07:48 One of the few "modern era" Young songs I can tolerate (I was a BIG fan of his 1st 3 albums)....this is the only "new" (ha- 1992!!) one I can think of that doesn't make me LEAP for the mute button... |
| peacockangel (Phoenix) | Posted: Jul 06, 2010 - 10:51 I wanna see you dance again ... |
| tapatia1072 | Posted: Jul 06, 2010 - 10:50 Love, love this song, perhaps best of all Neil's works. Ah, college memories. |

| Lizard62 (1290km N of Paradise) | Posted: Mar 01, 2010 - 14:38 Neil had me tearing up when he played 'Long May You Run' last night at the closing ceremonies of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics - just wonderful  A Canadian treasure, indeed... |
| bebop1704 (Greensboro, NC) | Posted: Dec 28, 2009 - 17:06 Don't know why but this song makes me tear up every time. Beautiful! |
| jnhashmi (South Pasadena/Los Angeles) | Posted: Dec 28, 2009 - 16:58 Man, he just nailed the perfect mood on this one. Perfect. |
| audiophelia (Pennsylvania) | Posted: Nov 27, 2009 - 07:28 Two of my close friends had this as their personal wedding dance song. So Beautiful. I'll always think of them. :) |
| ZedLeppelin (The Red Centre) | Posted: Oct 26, 2009 - 22:00 RParadise wrote: Neil doesn't get enough credit for craftsmanship, but this is a perfectly crafted song. Simple but beautiful melody, heartfelt lyrics without being trite, and almost perfect production. That guitar is wonderfully evocative of warm summer night dances outdoors in the small towns of mid-America (or Canada, Neil). Even his singing matches the mood perfectly. These things don't happen by lightning striking. They are the result of good writing, re-writing, thinking about production and all of the other things that go into what you hear as the final product. It's the craft of song-writing and producing, and it counts every bit as much as artistic genius flashing out of the dark. That doesn't happen very often, but craft can be brought to bear on every effort, and Neil Young has honed his craft over the decades to where it doesn't get noticed, but it's what accounts for his longevity. Well said RParadise! ....but you still only rate it 9??!! |
| sculpin99 | Posted: Oct 26, 2009 - 21:45 Thank you Bill. Although this is not a huge risk on your part to feed us such candy. But who in their human brain would rate this any less than an eight? Classic. |

I would agree , but believe that it's the natural course of music to fade into oblivion. The Nifty Fifty is in perpetuity only because of MP3 downloads and the like) Will people be listening to Young, Simon, Dylan, or others of that rare stratification 400 or 500 years from now; will they still be still listening to Bach or Beethoven ? |
