I remember that it happened in the moonlight
And I’ll never know exactly how or why
But it happened I was lonely in the moonlight
And it happened you were lonelier than I

And before I ever could realise
What an hour of the moon was to do
I had tumbled right into paradise
And I knew that a dream could be true

For it happened that you kissed me in the moonlight
And it happened that I fell in love with you.
