The Moon Is High

(album: Burl - 1963)

Well the moon is high and so am I
The stars are out and so will I be pretty soon
And I can tell you're mad at me
You stand there telling me goodbye
And I say no you can't go
I love you so much I can't let you get away
But come the dawn and it will dawn on me you're gone

Love don't leave me
Don't leave me laying here
This ground is cold and chilly really
Don't leave your charming Billy
Way out here you hear
The moon is high and so am I
The stars are out and so will I be pretty soon
But come the dawn and it will dawn on me you're gone

Well the moon is high and so am I
The stars are out and so will I be pretty soon
And I can tell you're mad at me
You stand there telling me goodbye
And I say no you can't go
I love you so much I can't let you get away
But come the dawn and it will dawn on me you're gone

Love don't leave me
Don't leave me laying here
This ground is cold and chilly really
Don't leave your charming Billy
Way out here you hear
The moon is high and so am I
The stars are out and so will I be pretty soon
But come the dawn and it will dawn on me you're gone

Love don't leave me
Don't leave me laying here
This ground is cold and chilly really
Don't leave your charming Billy
Way out here you hear
The moon is high and so am I
The stars are out and so will I be pretty soon
But come the dawn and it will dawn on me you're gone
