Sometimes, all times, Mister Moon

Someone needs you when there's love undying

Come on, shine on, Mister Moon

Can't you hear a Dixie lover sighing, crying


Lazy Lou’siana moon start shining

Give the evening sky a silver lining

Lazy Lou’siana moon take warning

'Cause morning will soon be dawning


Lazy Lou’siana moon say "Howdy"

Make believe the skies are not so cloudy

Come from your heavenly hideaway

And light the way to love


(Instrumental Break)


Lazy Lou’siana moon say "Howdy"

Make believe the skies are not so cloudy

Come from your heavenly hideaway

And light the way to love
