Voices hum, crooning over Moonlight Bay
Banjos strum to me while the moon - beams play
All alone, unknown, they find me,
Memories like these remind me
Of the girl I left behind me down on Moonlight Bay.
Refrain:
A/6/7/9
We were sailing along on moon-light bay;
We could hear the voices ringing;
A7/6/4
They seemed to say,
A/6/7/9
"You have stolen her heart - now don't go 'way."
As we sang love's old sweet song on Moon-light Bay.
Candle light streaming on the silent shore,
Lonely nights dreaming til we meet once more
Far apart her heart is yearning
With a sigh for my returning
With the light of love still burning as in days of yore.
Repeat Refrain
