Romance comes with the moonflowers
Tonight the moonflowers will be in bloom

Love walks among the moonflowers
I planted moonflowers outside my room

I'll watch the path that winds by the wishing tree
It ends beneath my window and there I'll be

And there I'll wait for the love I longed for
Tonight the moonflowers may bloom anew

(Orchestral Interlude)

I'll watch the path that winds by the wishing tree
It ends beneath my window and there I'll be

And there I'll wait for the love I long for
Tonight the moonflowers may bloom anew
