Moon high above in the summer sky
He, too, is watching your shining,
Speak to his heart from up on high,
Tell him I’m lonely and pining.

Moon high above him, shining,
Tell him, oh, tell him I love him,
Moonlight above him, shining,
Tell him, oh, tell him I love him.

Carry my thoughts in your silver light,
Tell him I’ll love him forever,
Can he be thinking of me tonight,
Dreaming of when we’re together?

Tell him I’m longing for him, silver moon,
Bring him, oh bring him to me soon,
Tell him I’m longing for him, silver moon,
Bring him, oh bring him to me soon, bring him.

If by chance he thinks of me
Let the thought of me awake him.
Moonlight, forsake me not, stay with me,
Moonlight, stay with me.
