I was strolling down the lane
With my sweetheart by the hand,
She was asking a favour of the moon.
And though we were so young
Yet we were both as one,
'Neath the bright silvery of the moon.
So shine on silvery light,
Shine on through the night
The nightingales are singing their sweet song
Well there's not a time so sweet
As when two lovers meet
Neath the bright silvery light of the moon.
.Instrumental.
I gave to her a ring
And we named our wedding day
We planned on being married in the spring
Ah but now she is dead
And lying in her grave
Neath the bright silvery light of the moon.
So shine on silvery light,
Shine on through the night
The nightingales are singing their sweet song
Well there's not a time so sweet
As when two lovers meet
Neath the bright silvery light of the moon
Neath the bright silvery light of the moon.
End
