Moon of gold in the sky,

my loving sweetheart said goodbye.

Those moonlight kisses that she shared with me

are just a memory.



By the light of your glow

those tender love words whispered low

were just a promise that never came true,

for she found someone new.



How, how was I to know she'd soon go

and leave me longing in the moon glow.



Since she's gone I'm alone,

I have no sweetheart of my own,

Just a memory of a love that's grown cold,

and a tarnished moon of gold.



Since she's gone I'm alone,

I have no sweetheart of my own,

just a memory of a love that's grown cold,

and a tarnished moon of gold.
