Come to me sweetly
And follow me home
Maiden night sky
Into lavender’s blue
Vaguely familiar
As sunshine in winter
My only old friend is
The man in the moon

Whispers he gently,
“If only you’d let me,
All you imagine
Would happen to you
Whys and wherefores
Wouldn’t count anymore.”
My only true friend is
The man in the moon

Watching me over
And holding me fast
Midnight’s rode past
And I know, very soon
Birdsong will wake me
And morning will take me
Away from my man in the moon

Wishing has made me
So wistful of lately
Doubts, more than dreams
Come so painfully true
So come to me sweetly,
And follow me home
My only companion
The man in the moon

I couldn’t regret him
For I’ve never met him
My only true love
Is the man in the moon
