Since you were a baby How I've babied you Now you're not a baby And it makes me blue
Tonight you're going dancing Your dreams may get a start, but Don't you let that moonlight Take advantage of your heart
You're...
Stepping out tonight And the moon is shining bright I know that you will have a lot of fun But while dancing cheek to cheek Do not let your heart grow weak Just remember that's the moon, my son
She may thrill you to the skies With the moonlight in her eyes But moonlight fades away when night is done
You may kiss her if you can But be careful, little man Just remember that's the moon, my son
Maybe she's really very nice Maybe you'll dream of shoes and rice Sonny but you must know for sure She's the one
But if she can reach your heart Even when you're far apart Then that's not the moon That's love, my son
Maybe she's really very nice Maybe you'll dream of shoes and rice Sonny, but you must know for sure She's the one
But if she can reach your heart Even when you're far apart Then you know that's not the moon That's love, my son
