Lyrics
There’s no use hiding from you, Mister Moon
You see everything;
Soi, why try hiding from you, Mister Moon,
When its joy you bring?
From you home ‘way up above,
You know how to start the game of love.
Chorus:
Most ev’ry night you shine so bright,
You know that lovers need your light,
I thank you, Mister Moon.
You take two hearts and tie them tight,
If love goes wrong, you make it right,
I thank you, Mister Moon.
You’re the one that keeps the world caressing,
Ev’ry beam is like the heaven’s blessing.
Tonight’s the night, my one big chance,
Please help me out, and in advance,
I thank you, Mister Moon.
Verse 2:
The news is spreading around, Mister Moon
That you’re on your way.
The phones are busy, they’re all making dates,
Hearts are all so gay.
Like a pretty love refrain,
You’re the magic spark in Lovers’ Lane.
