THE MOON REMEMBERED, BUT YOU FORGOT
>From the film "Let's Be Famous" (1939)
(Music: Noel Gay / Lyrics: Frank Eyton)


Betty Driver (Film Soundtrack) - 1939






We made a date beneath the Moon where we'd always met
I never thought that you would be the one who'd forget
Was it misunderstanding, I hope so, and yet.....

The Moon remembered, but you forgot
The Moon and I were there, but you were not
We waited patiently, the Moon and I
We felt so certain that you'd soon come by

The Moon grew weary, his light had flown
He was so sorry, but had to go
Beneath the darkening sky I found myself left wondering why
The Moon remembered, but you forgot
