BACK WHEN WE WEREN'T OLD ENOUGH
BUT OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW WRONG FROM RIGHT
DROVE MY DADDY'S TRUCK TO MILLER'S LAKE
AND WE PARKED BENEATH THE FULL MOONLIGHT
NO ONE TOLD US WHAT TO DO
SO WE DID WHAT COMES NATURALLY
AND WHEN THAT MOON LIT UP YOUR FACE
SOMETHIN CHANGED INSIDE OF ME

I CAN'T GET OVER THE MOON
HOW EVERY GOLDEN RAY OF LIGHT STILL REMINDS ME OF THAT NIGHT
AND EVERY TIME THAT OLD MOON RISES, I REMEMBER ALL TOO SOON
THAT YOUR HEART'S SOMEWHERE ON THE OTHER SIDE
AND I CAN'T GET OVER THE MOON

WE TALKED OF GETTING MARRIED
AS SOON AS GRADUATION CAME
THAT OLD MOON HEARD EVERY WORD
AND THE PROMISES WE MADE
BUT YOUR FAMILY LOOKED DOWN ON ME
THEY ENDED ALL OUR PLANS
SENT YOU OFF TO COLLEGE
I STAYED IN TOWN TO WORK FOR MY OLD MAN

AND I CAN'T GET OVER THE MOON
HOW EVERY GOLDEN RAY OF LIGHT STILL REMINDS ME OF GOODBYE
AND EVERY TIME THAT OLD MOON RISES, I REMEMBER ALL TOO SOON
THAT YOUR HEART'S SOMEWHERE ON THE OTHER SIDE
AND I CAN'T GET OVER THE MOON

I WROTE YOU LETTERS FOR THE LONGEST TIME
WE TALKED FOR HOURS ON THE TELPHONE
MY PHONE QUITE RINGING, YOUR LETTERS STOPPED
IT WAS THEN I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN
THAT WAS MANY YEARS AGO
YOU'RE A GHOST THAT I CAN'T SET FREE
AND WHEN THAT OLD MOON RISES NOW
I STILL WONDER DO YOU THINK OF ME

AND I CAN'T GET OVER THE MOON
HOW EVERY GOLDEN RAY OF LIGHT STILL REMINDS ME OF THAT NIGHT
AND EVERY TIME THAT OLD MOON RISES, I REMEMBER ALL TOO SOON
THAT YOUR HEART'S SOMEWHERE ON THE OTHER SIDE
AND I CAN'T GET OVER THE MOON
