There are bluebirds in the moonlight
Silly idea, bluebirds in the moonlight
But that’s how I feel when I’m with you

There are night owls in the daylight
Silly idea, night owls in the daylight
Or maybe my heart is saying hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

Who is the one for me
You, that’s what you’ve done to me

There are bluebirds in the moonlight
Silly idea, bluebirds in the moonlight
But that’s how I feel when I’m with you
