I was saying to the Moon
Just the other night
Wouldn't it be grand
If I should find my one delight


I was saying to the Moon
Love can't be so far
Never thinking you would soon
Be standing where you are


I just stood and stared at you
I could hardly contain myself
Then I tried to explain myself
But all the time you knew


When you stepped into my life
It was opportune
Just as though you heard
What I was saying to the Moon
