How strange, my love, that you and I
Should kiss in the moonlight, then whisper goodbye
And all of the loveliness I dreamed I could hold
Has gone with the night and I am cold

How strange, my love, that all too soon
Our beautiful ????? should fade in the Moon
You whispered, "My heart is yours, I vow that my love will never change"
And now you're gone, gone with my heart, how strange
