Sobre el álbum
Con I Prefer The Moonlight, de 1987, la discografía de Kenny Rogers continúa su regreso a un sonido más puramente country. En este trabajo, el artista deja atrás la grandilocuencia del pop de los 80 para abrazar una producción más sencilla y centrada en la instrumentación tradicional del género.
El álbum tiene un sonido cálido y acústico, con un gran protagonismo de las guitarras, los violines y el "pedal steel". La canción que da título al disco es una hermosa balada romántica que muestra el lado más tierno del cantante.
"I Prefer The Moonlight" es un disco que fue muy bien recibido por la comunidad country, que celebró el regreso del artista a sus raíces. Es una obra elegante y sincera que demuestra que, a veces, menos es más.

Letra
When temptin' eyes 'cross the room Said to me I'd love to be with you I'm not tempted for a moment I just think about my woman My baby calls me on the phone Telling me I need to hurry home Well the hurryin' is easy 'Cause she's waiting up With all the love I'm needin' I prefer the moonlight, and a blanket And the one right little lady by my side That's what I like I prefer a late drive down the turnpike With the moonlight shinin' so bright Got her by my side That's what I'd like When its magic moment time, I prefer the moonlight The river plays a quiet song She and I lay down and play along She's her mother's lovely daughter Moonlight dances on the water The moon is full and so am I I look at her and feel like I could cry But my tears contain no sorrow 'Cause I know she'll wake up by my side tomorrow I prefer... Mornin' noon and night, When the feelin' comes around Somewhere in some sky That ol' moon is surely shinin' bright I prefer... - Now And Forever4:06

Here we stand Tracing the moments in our lives Hand in hand Facing the future of our lives No one has ever been closer I feel your heartbeat moving with mine. Oh, love me, now and forever Tell me, that you will never leave me Now and forever stay and love me. Face to face I see my hope for tomorrow Place to place Lovely to wait for me to follow No one could ever be nearer Can't think of anyone else that I want to. Love me, now and forever Tell me, that you will never leave me Now and forever stay and love me. With every measure of time There's a thought of you And knowing I'm all you want 'Cause we make it through. Love me, now and forever Tell me, that you will never leave me Now and forever stay and love me... - We´re Doin´ Alright3:57

Just one more day I ask One chance to love you I can see your face Everywhere I go It's in my soul. No matter how it goes God only knows I get more than I deserve Yes, it's such an easy word Give me one more day. And time Is a river that rows us along And love will deliver us If we hold on. So if you think You might not trust your heart tonight I'm never gonna drift away I'll wait forever if you say You'll give me one more day. And time Is a river that rows us along And love will deliver us If we hold on... - She´s Ready For Someone To Love Her2:52

Letra
I can't say that he loved his work But he fed a family of nine Papa never heard of union He logged his scale in time But he was a lucky man At least he had a job Down at the fact'ry 40 years cut across his back Fightin' it tooth and nail Work was hard enough to make A man forget his fear of Hell He was a thankful man He had a job Down at the fact'ry Sometimes through the walls at night I'd hear him on his knees Prayin', "Lord, please help me Through another day Give me strength And bless this house This family of mine And thank you, Lord, for my job Down at the fact'ry" It's hard for a man To build a life On a miller's pay But like father Just like son At least I could pay my way I'm a lucky man I've got a job Down at the fact'ry As I put my kids to bed Wonder what's in store Ask the Lord for a better way 'Cause they deserve much more Than to raise their own With just a job Down at the fact'ry Sometimes when it's late at night I get down on my knees Prayin, "Lord, please help me Through another day And give me strength And bless this house This family of mine And, thank you, lord, for my job Down at the fact'ry" We got more than some At least I got a job Down at the fact'ry - We Fell In Love Anyway3:19
Letra
The moon wasn't shinning, The stars weren't bright. It was a rainy, Late autumn night. Just two old friends, A little cafe No false intentions, To get in our way. The wine wasn't flowing, No candle light I had no plans, For you in my life. There was no music, No magic at play But we fell in love Anyway. We fell in love, In spite of the night, So cold And dark. We fell in love, The moment we touched. I stole a kiss, You stole my heart. Who would believe it, remembering how, I didn't long to hold you The way I do now. I bless the heavens each night I pray, We fell in love Anyway. We fell in love Anyway... - You Can´t Say (Don´t Love Me Anymore)3:14
