I was strolling down the lane
With my sweetheart by the hand,
She was asking a favour of the moon.
And though
we were so young
Yet we were both as one,
'Neath the bright silvery of the moon.
So shine on silver light,
Shine on through the night
The nightingales are singing their sweet song
Well there's
not a time so sweet
As when two lovers meet
Neath the bright silvery light of the moon.
I gave to her a ring
We named our wedding day
We planned on being married in the spring
Now I thank the stars
above
For the night we fell in love
Neath the bright silvery light of the moon.
Shine on through the night
The nightingales are singing their sweet song
Well there's not a time so sweet
As
when two lovers meet
Neath the bright silvery light of the moon
Neath the bright silvery light of the moon.
