FOOLED BY THE MOON
(Saul Chaplin (m) Sammy Cahn (l) )

as recorded by Ted Weems & his Orchestra
(vocal - Perry Como)
August 6th 1936 
Chicago


Fooled by the moon, hurt by the stars,
Skies full of blue helped you deceive me.
Stardust fell from out of the sky,
And somehow I couldn't see
That my true love was passin' by;
Why did I have to be

Fooled by the moon, hurt by the stars?
I love you too, please do believe me!
You had me in heaven,
And you dropped me to earth too soon,
Hurt by the stars and fooled by the moon!
