THERE'S A WONDERFUL LIGHT IN THE SKY TONIGHT
WITH SILVER THE HILLS ARE SPRAYED.
AND THE MOON SEEMS SO NEAR
THAT I KNOW HE WILL HEAR EV'RY WORD OF MY LOVE SERENADE
ROLL ALONG, PRAIRIE MOON,
ROLL ALONG WHILE I CROON,
SHINE ABOVE LAMP OF LOVE,
PRAIRIE MOON.
WAY UP THERE, IN THE BLUE
MAYBE YOU'RE LONELY TOO,
SWINGING IN BY IN THE SKY
PRAIRIE MOON.
I NEED YOUR TENDER LIGHT
TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT
YOU KNOW I'M SO ALONE TONIGHT
FAR AWAY SHED YOUR BEAMS
ON THE GIRL OF MY DREAMS
TELL HER TOO, I'VE BEEN TRUE
PRAIRIE MOON.
