The sheet music:
Lyrics
The man in the moon looked into my window
And found me alone and blue
The man in the moon told me something
And told me to tell it to you
Chorus:
I’ve got a message from the man in the moon
For you, just you
He said to tell you there’s a bench in the park
For two, just two
I know you should be sleeping
And I’m keeping you awake
But I’m just delivering a message
He told me to take
I’ve got a message saying love will be ’round
To call and then
If we don’t meet him
He may never be ’round to call again
The evening found me lonely
And I thought you might be lonely, too
So I brought a message
From the man in the moon for you
