| Since you were a baby
|
| How I’ve babied you
|
| Now you’re not a baby
|
| And it makes me blue
|
| Tonight you’re going dancing
|
| Your dreams may get a start, but
|
| Don’t you let that moonlight
|
| Take advantage of your heart
|
| You’re…
|
| Stepping out tonight
|
| And the moon is shining bright
|
| I know that you will have a lot of fun
|
| But while dancing cheek to cheek
|
| Do not let your heart grow weak
|
| Just remember that’s the moon, my son
|
| She may thrill you to the skies
|
| With the moonlight in her eyes
|
| But moonlight fades away when night is done
|
| You may kiss her if you can
|
| But be careful, little man
|
| Just remember that’s the moon, my son
|
| Maybe she’s really very nice
|
| Maybe you’ll dream of shoes and rice
|
| Sonny but you must know for sure
|
| She’s the one
|
| But if she can reach your heart
|
| Even when you’re far apart
|
| Then that’s not the moon
|
| That’s love, my son
|
| Maybe she’s really very nice
|
| Maybe you’ll dream of shoes and rice
|
| Sonny, but you must know for sure
|
| She’s the one
|
| But if she can reach your heart
|
| Even when you’re far apart
|
| Then you know that’s not the moon
|
| That’s love, my son |
