Oh, the moon was shining
Somewhere over the sea
Oh, the moon was waiting
For you to return to me
I haven’t seen the day
Since you went away
Oh, the moon was shining
Somewhere over the sea
There’s been no light of day
Since you went away
Oh, the moon was shining
Somewhere over the sea
Oh, the snow was falling
Colder than any winters I’ve known
Oh, the snow was falling
Icicles turning to stone
Still I wish on a star
Come back wherever you are
Oh, the snow was falling
So much colder since I’ve been alone
Oh, the stars stopped glowing
On the night that you left
Oh, the wind stopped blowing
All I could hold was my breath
Still I have to believe
You will return to me
Oh, the stars stopped glowing
On the night that you left
Still I have to believe
You will return to me
Oh, the snow was falling
Colder than winters I’ve known
Oh, the stars have stopped glowing
As my heart turned into stone
Somewhere over the sea
You will return to me
