HE WAS ON TO SOMETHIN' (SO HE MADE YOU)
(Sonny Curtis)


Ricky Skaggs - 1989





The moon ain't yellow and the moon ain't blue
It ain't made of cheese and it don't have a thing to do
With me and you

Your mind ain't straight and your heart can't break
Tears don't roll and lips don't taste
Like cherry wine, sugar and honey dew

But honey, when you tell me that you love me true
I believe in you and ooooooh
Your love makes everything come true

'Cause love makes a blue moon turn gold
Makes a heart break, makes a tear roll
When God made love, I betcha he knew
That he was on to somethin', so he made you

(Instrumental Break)

Midnight really ain't the middle of the night
It's either to the left or a little bit to the right
It's ever so slight

The sun don't move and it can't go down
It never comes up and it don't roll around
In heaven all day the sun don't roll around

But honey when you tell me that you love me true
I believe in you and oooooh 
Your love makes everything come true

Love makes the sun come up and go down
'Cause love makes the world go round
When God made love, I betcha he knew
That he was on to somethin', so he made you

Love makes the world go round
Makes the sun come up and go down
When God made love, I betcha he knew
That he was on to somethin', so he made you
Yeah, he was on to somethin', so he made you
