A romantic, sentimental, nostalgic (but fictitious) place, 1912.

The sheet music:
Accompaniment track:
Lyrics
- Voices hum, crooning over Moonlight Bay
Banjos strum, tuning while the moon beams play
All alone, unknown they find me
Memories like these remind me
Of the girl I left behind me
Down on Moonlight Bay
Chorus
We were sailing along on Moonlight Bay
We could hear the voices singing, they seemed to say
“You have stolen my heart, now don’t go ‘way”
As we sang Love’s Old Sweet Song, on Moonlight Bay
- Candle lights gleaming on the silent shore
Lonely nights, dreaming till we meet once more
Far apart, her heart is yearning
With a sigh for my returning
With the light of love still burning
As in days of yore
