LEANN RIMES - CAN'T FIGHT THE MOONLIGHT
Under A Lover's Sky, Gonna Be With You
And No One's Gonna Be Around
If You Think That You Won't Fall
We'll Just Wait Until
'Til The Sun Goes Down
Underneath The Starlight, Starlight
There's A Magical Feeling So Right
It'll Steal Your Heart Tonight
You Can Try To Resist
Try To Hide From My Kiss
But You Know, But You Know That You
Can't Fight The Moonlight
Deep In The Dark
You'll Surrender Your Heart
But You Know, But You Know That You
Can't Fight The Moonlight, No
You Can't Fight It
It's Gonna Get To Your Heart
There's No Escape From Love
Once The Gentle Breeze (Once The Gentle Breeze)
Sweeps It's Spell Upon Your Heart
No Matter What You Think
It Won't Be Too Long
'Till You're In My Arms
Underneath The Starlight, Starlight
There's A Magical Feeling So Right
Feel It Steal Your Heart Tonight
You Can Try To Resist
Try To Hide From My Kiss
But You Know, But You Know That You
Can't Fight The Moonlight
Deep In The Dark
You'll Surrender Your Heart
But You Know, But You Know That You Can't
Can't Fight The Moonlight
No You Can't Fight It (No)
No (No) Matter What You Do (No Matter What You Do)
The Night Is Gonna Get To You
Don't Try, You're Never Gonna Win, Oh
Underneath The Starlight, Starlight
There's A Magical Feeling So Right
Feel It Steal Your Heart Tonight
You Can Try
(You Can Try To Resist)
(Try To Hide From My Kiss)
(But You Know)
But You Know That You (You Know That You)
Can't Fight The Moonlight
Deep In The Dark
You'll Surrender Your Heart
(Surrender Your Heart)
But You Know, But You Know That You
Can't Fight The Moonlight
No You Can't Fight It
It's Gonna Get To Your Heart
SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Diane Warren
Producer(s): Trevor Horn
In This Song, Leann Rimes Sings About That Magical Feeling Under The Moonlight When Romance Is In The Air.
The Song Was Written By Diane Warren, Who Also Wrote Rimes' Biggest Hit, "How Do I Live." It Was Produced By Trevor Horn.
"Can't Fight The Moonlight" Is The Theme Song To The 2000 Movie Coyote Ugly, Where Piper Perabo's Character Plays A Singer-Songwriter From New Jersey Who Moves To New York City To Pursue Her Music Career.
Rimes Is Perabo's Singing Voice Throughout The Film, Which Includes Three Other Original Songs She Performs, All Of Them Also Written By Diane Warren And Produced By Trevor Horn.
"Can't Fight The Moonlight" Was A Huge International Hit, Topping The Charts In Australia, The Uk, The Netherlands, New Zealand, And Several Other Territories. In Australia, It Was The Best-Selling Single Of 2001.
Oddly, The Song Didn't Do So Well In America, Where It Stalled At #71 In September 2001 After It Was Released As The First Single From The Coyote Ugly Soundtrack. Seeing The International Success, Rimes' Label, Curb, Gave It Another Shot, Re-Releasing The Song With A Renewed Promotional Push. The Re-Release Went To #11 In March 2002, Long After The Film Had Left Theaters.
The Video Is Essentially An Extended Version Of Rimes' Appearance In The Film, Showing Her Singing The Song On The Coyote Ugly Bar, Intercut With Other Scenes From The Movie.
