[Verse 1]
The sun is setting and you're right here by my side
And the movie is playing, but we won't be watching tonight
Every look (Every look), every touch (Every touch)
Makes me wanna give you my heart (Ooh-ooh)
I be crushin' on you, baby (Ooh)
Stay right where you are, 'cause
[Chorus]
I never knew, I never knew
You could hold moonlight in your hands
'Til the night I held you
You are my moonlight, moonlight
[Verse 2]
I kiss his fingertips as I'm wishing he's all mine
He's giving me Elvis with some James Dean in his eyes
Puts his lips (Puts his lips) on my neck (On my neck)
Makes me wanna give him my body (Ooh-ooh)
I be fallin' for you, baby (Ooh)
And I just can't stop, 'cause
[Chorus]
I never knew, I never knew
You could hold moonlight in your hands
'Til the night I held you
You are my moonlight, moonlight
Baby, I be fallin'
You're my moonlight, moonlight
[Outro]
He's so bossy, he makes me dance
Tryna sit in the back of his whip and just cancel my plans
Sweet like candy, but he's such a man
He knows just what it does when he’s holding me tight
And he calls me "Moonlight" too

In an 2015 interview with Zach Sang Ariana spoke about the song:
“Moonlight”, when that song happened I was sort of just like “Victoria, oh my god” – I sent her a voice note, I still have the voice note – I was like “Victoria oh my God you’ll never guess what happened, I have to tell you so many th...
Rolling Stone ranked the track as Ariana’s #26 best song, saying:
As Dangerous Woman’s opener, ‘Moonlight’ is the thread that ties her old work with her new direction. Taking on the role of a 1950s crooner, Ariana delves into the sound of Yours Truly and My Everything with this starry-eyed, string-...
