Moonlight on the river Colorado
How I wish that I were there with you
As I sit and find each lonely shadow
Takes me back to days that we once knew
We were to wed in harvest time you said
That's why I'm longing for you
When it's moonlight on the Colorado
I wonder if you're waiting for me too
We were to wed in harvest time you said
That's why I'm longing for you
When it's moonlight on the river Colorado
I wonder if you're waiting for me too
