"The Moon Is High" lyrics

The Moon Is High

Well the moon is high
And so am I
The stars are out
And so will I be pretty soon
And I can tell you're mad at me
There you stand, telling me goodbye
And I say no, you can't go
I love you so much
I can't let you get away
But come the dawn
And it will dawn on me you're gone

Love don't leave me
Don't leave me laying here
This ground is cold and chilly really
Don't leave your charming Billy
Way out here, you hear?
Well the moon is high
And so am I
The stars are out
And so will I be pretty soon
But come the dawn
And it will dawn on me you're gone

Well the moon is high
And so am I
The stars are out
And so will I be pretty soon
And I can tell you're mad at me
Cause there you stand, telling me goodbye
And I say no, you can't go
I love you so much
I can't let you get away
But come the dawn
And it will dawn on me you're gone

Love don't leave me
Don't leave me laying here
This ground is cold and chilly really
Don't leave your charming Billy
Way out here, you hear?
Well the moon is high
And so am I
The stars are out
And so will I be pretty soon
But come the dawn
And it will dawn on me you're gone
