"Moonlight Desires" is a song by Scottish-born Canadian musician Lawrence Gowan. Released in March 1987 as the lead single from his third studio album, Great Dirty World, it reached number ten in Canada. Yes's Jon Anderson, walking by the studio, heard the song being played, entered and asked if he could add a harmony vocal, and made it up on the spot. This single had a b-side called "Jet White," which was recorded in 1982 and originally appeared on Gowan's self-titled debut album.
