You can blame it all on an old time tune
Heard ‘cross a field from afar
You can blame it all on the Prairie Moon
And a night with a sky full of stars.

And who needs a dream everybody
And those without hope need two
Life has enough sad little lessons
That we must all go through

But tonight we can watch the sun go down
And the sky turn a crimson hue
And if you feel a tug at the strings of your heart
And if that’s unfamiliar to you

Chorus

And who likes love, everybody
Except those who have lost a few
Nothing can empty the heart so fast
As to find that your love’s untrue

But whether your heart is empty or full
We all need a night like this
Time to dance with a hint of romance
And if you take a chance on a kiss

Chorus

Cause who wouldn’t choose to go back to the time
When your heart was a simple tune
And who wouldn’t choose to go back to the time
When you danced beneath an innocent moon

Chorus

Comments:
I had been working on my musical, "Dust and Dreams" before the album project started and when I wrote this song I realised that it was the perfect opener for the play as well. Romance, prairie style and with a real accordion too. I can picture the doilies on the piano.
