Moonlight Bay 1912

James Pitt-Payne, London UK

Voices hum, crooning over Moonlight Bay,
Banjos strum, tuning while the moonbeams play.
All alone unknown they find me,
Memories like these remind me,
of the girl I left behind me,
down on Moonlight Bay.

We were sailing along on Moonlight Bay,
we could hear the voices calling,
they seemed to say:
"You have stolen my heart,
now don't go 'way!"
As we sang Love's Old Sweet Song,
On Moonlight Bay.

We were sailing along on Moonlight Bay,
we could hear the voices calling,
they seemed to say:
"You have stolen my heart,
now don't go 'way!"
As we sang Love's Old Sweet Song,
On Moonlight Bay.

Candle lights gleaming on the silent shore,
lonely nights, dreaming till we meet once more.
Far apart, her heart is yearning,
with a sigh for my returning,
with the light of love still beaming,
as in days of yore.

We were sailing along on Moonlight Bay,
we could hear the voices calling,
they seemed to say:
"You have stolen my heart,
now don't go 'way!"
As we sang Love's Old Sweet Song,
On Moonlight Bay.

We were sailing along on Moonlight Bay,
we could hear the voices calling,
they seemed to say:
"You have stolen my heart,
now don't go 'way!"
As we sang Love's Old Sweet Song,
On Moonlight Bay.
