They took the moonlight out o' the skies
And put the moonlight right in your eyes,
Like a June night, you're a heavenly thing!
They took the fragrance out o' the dew
And sprinkled roses all over you,
Like a garden, you're a heavenly thing!

They made a clingin' vine your embrace,
Stars that shine light your face.
To combine everything,
On your lips they put the breath of Spring.

And then they finished, called it a day,
They took the model and threw it away!
Like an angel, you're a heavenly thing!

They took the model and threw it away!
