Just a silver souvenir
shining high above,
once it used to hold me
in a trance.
'Neath this moon
remember dear,
you taught me to love,
now it's all that's left
of our romance.

Moon for sale
you've gone my love
and there's a moon for sale.
I have no need for moonlight.
I know it's shining
in the skies,
but I can't see it
with my tear dimmed eyes.
Moon for sale,
our sweet romance
was just a fairy tale,
where is that happy ending?
I loved you
had you loved me too,
there'd never be
a moon for sale.

Moon for sale
you've gone my love
and there's a moon for sale.
I have no need for moonlight.
I know it's shining
in the skies,
but I can't see it
with my tear dimmed eyes.
Moon for sale,
our sweet romance
was just a fairy tale,
where is that happy ending?
I loved you
had you loved me too,
there'd never be
a moon for sale.

Back to our old meeting place
ev'ry night I stray,
As the moon peeps
just above the trees.
How I miss your smiling face
now you're far away,
as I count my moonlight memories.

Moon for sale
you've gone my love
and there's a moon for sale.
I have no need for moonlight.
I know it's shining
in the skies,
but I can't see it
with my tear dimmed eyes.
Moon for sale,
our sweet romance
was just a fairy tale,
where is that happy ending?
I loved you
had you loved me too,
there'd never be
a moon for sale.

Moon for sale
you've gone my love
and there's a moon for sale.
I have no need for moonlight.
I know it's shining
in the skies,
but I can't see it
with my tear dimmed eyes.
Moon for sale,
our sweet romance
was just a fairy tale,
where is that happy ending?
I loved you
had you loved me too,
there'd never be
a moon for sale.
