The sheet music:
Lyrics
1. Talk about your honeymoons
Talk about your loving tunes
There is one I love to tell about
When the night falls from above
When I meet my lady love
And it seems the moon will not come out
She and I will find a nook
Where no one will dare to look
’Tis our own sweet little lover’s lane
Then we’ll sing a pretty song
And it is not very long
Mister moon will hear this sweet refrain
Chorus:
O-h-h-h, you Mister moon
Keep on a shining while we spoon
Each little beam can bring us a dream
Dreams of the day we’ll marry in June
Keep on a smiling in the sky
We love the moonlight, don’t know why
No one is near us, no one can hear us
Only you, Oh Mister Moon
2. When my lady love’s away
And I’m lonely all the day
I feel blue when evening comes around
There is someone that I miss
Someone that I used to kiss
When the moon was softly shining down
And I gaze into the sky
In my heart there comes a sigh
For the moon has no more charm for me
And I long to sing once more
As we did in days of yore
Long to sing this song so tenderly
