Lyrics
the night that we met
the world was she and I
the moon was a golden eye in the sky
following us as time slipped on by
the night that we kissed
I felt my heart would fly
the moon was a shining grin in the sky
smiling on us and I think I know why
yellow moon, yellow moon
I know you?re watching, yellow moon
and like a witness from on high
keep us true, yellow moon
while we try
the night that I asked
waiting for her reply
the moon was a tiny slit in the sky
she couldn?t say why she started to cry
yellow moon, yellow moon
I know you?re watching, yellow moon
and like a witness from on high
keep us true, yellow moon
while we try
I prayed, yellow moon,
how my heart did cry
I wished that she?d tell me she loved me
or at least I wished she?d lie
the night she said no
her eyes were dry
I couldn?t see a moon in the sky
the next thing I know she?s saying goodbye
yellow moon, yellow moon,
you have been watching, yellow moon
but on the saddest of my days
even you, yellow moon
even you, yellow moon
you had to look away
