Moon of gold in the sky
My lovin' 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
'Cause 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.
