Moon Tune Abandoned

In my head, I had the Count Basie Orchestra.  After seventy-two hours of this song obsessing me, waking up in the night with the sound of what I hear in my head, fifteen hours of slaving over red-hot guitars, keyboards, recording machines, drum machines, I have accepted that I just can't do it.  My performance skills and my technology aren't up to it.  I could put out a partially completed job, but I wouldn't be proud of it.  So, sorry, this one ain't gonna happen.  Yet.

Just to tantalise you, here are the lyrics:

Here we are, the stars are bright
Soon be time to say goodnight, but
Just a minute, look up there -
Something's in the air ...

Stars are out, the moon is rising
They'll be singing to us soon
There's some love on the horizon -
Could this be it?

Serenading you by moonlight
To a sentimental tune
Are we ready for a goodnight kiss?
Not yet -
We still have things to do with the moon
