    I just put the Moondance album on.....I fucking love this thing....every song is fantastic.

    From "And It Stoned Me" onward.....the whole damn thing is awesome.

    It was Sweet Thing for a long long time and I still think it's one of the best songs ever written



    And I will stroll the merry way
    And jump the hedges first
    And I will drink the clear
    Clean water for to quench my thirst
    And I shall watch the ferry-boats
    And they'll get high
    On a bluer ocean
    Against tomorrow's sky
    And I will never grow so old again
    And I will walk and talk
    In gardens all wet with rain

    Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
    My, my, my, my, my sweet thing
    And I shall drive my chariot
    Down your streets and cry
    'Hey, it's me, I'm dynamite
    And I don't know why'
    And you shall take me strongly
    In your arms again
    And I will not remember
    That I even felt the pain.
    We shall walk and talk
    In gardens all misty and wet with rain
    And I will never, never, never
    Grow so old again.

    Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
    My, my, my, my, my sweet thing
    And I will raise my hand up
    Into the night time sky
    And count the stars
    That's shining in your eye
    Just to dig it all an' not to wonder
    That's just fine
    And I'll be satisfied
    Not to read in between the lines
    And I will walk and talk
    In gardens all wet with rain
    And I will never, ever, ever, ever
    Grow so old again.
    Oh sweet thing, sweet thing
    Sugar-baby with your champagne eyes
    And your saint-like smile....

    You most definitely called it!

    If i had to pick a favorite from Moondance though, it would be Caravan. And even though it's been remade a million times, Have I Told You Lately is mine and my husbands "song", nobody can sing it like Van.

    Jackie Wilson Said (I'm in Heaven When You Smile)
    Da, da, da, da, da,
    Jackie Wilson said
    It was "Reet-Petite"
    Kinda love you got
    Knock me off my feet
    Let it all hang out
    Oh, let it all hang out.
    And you know
    I'm so wired-up
    Don't need no coffee in my cup
    Let it all hang out
    Let it all hang out.
    Watch this:
    Ding-a-ling-a-ling
    Ding-a-ling-a-ling-ding
    Ding-a-ling-a-ling
    Ding-a-ling-a-ling-ding
    Do-da-do-da
    I'm in heaven, I'm in heaven
    I'm in heaven, when you smile
    When you smile, when you smile
    When you smile.
    And when you walk
    Across the road
    You make my heart go
    Boom-boom-boom
    Let it all hang out
    Baby, let it all hang out
    And ev'ry time
    You look that way
    Honey chile, you make my day
    Let it all hang out
    Like the man said: let it all hang out.

    Watch this:
    Ding-a-ling-a-ling ... etc.
