It must have been that moonglow
Way up in the blue
It must have been moonglow
That led me straight to you
I still hear you saying
Dear one hold me fast
And I start in praying
Oh lord, please let this last
We seemed to float right thru the air
Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere
And now when there’s moonglow
Way up in the blue
I always remember that moonglow gave me you

It must have been moonglow
Way up in the blue
It must have been moonglow
That led me straight to you
I still hear you saying
Dear one hold me fast
And I start in praying
Oh lord, please let this last
We seemed to float right thru the air
Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere
And now when there’s moonglow
Way up in the blue
I always remember that moonglow brought me you
