RACING WITH THE MOON
(Vaughn Monroe / Paul Pope / John Watson)

Vaughn Monroe
Also recorded by : John Pizzarelli.


Once we were all together
You, the moon and I
But on the night you left me
The moon raced back to the sky

Racing with the moon
High up in the midnight blue
And then all too soon
It’s lost from view

(Orchestral Interlude)

Racing with the moon
High up in the midnight blue
And then all too soon
It’s lost from view
Gazing at the stars
High up in the clouds of grey
But just like the moon
They fade away
In the blue heavens I see
Your face smiling at me
My heart will never be free
Until we’re back together
Racing with the moon
That is what I’ll always do
Till I overtake the moon and you.
