|
Once I tried to capture the rapture of the night,
|
Silly dreams I knew would disappear,
|
But it seems they left a souvenir,
|
One refrain eternally will haunt me, taunt me.
|
It came from nowhere the night that we met,
|
T'was like a melodious plea, wee moon song that wasn't meant for me.
|
Why is it always reminding me of a love dream that never could be.
|
Wee moon song that wasn't meant for me.
|
It came gliding into my heart, riding on a moonbeam from above.
|
Sorrow and this and the whole world blended in a rhapsody of love.
|
There I heard her singing to somebody else,
|
What I thought was my melody,
|
Wee moon song that wasn't meant for me.
