Under the Man in the Moon
Engelbert Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I always thought that love was a game for fools
You put your heart on the lin
everytime after time and then you lose.

But I'd never seen the stars shinning in your eyes.
Now it's all very clear what is happening here to night.

It's only me and you
under the man in the moon.
Counting stars up above
and falling in love
like we're meant to do.

It's only me and you
under the man in the moon.
So let's start with a kiss
and make every little with come true.

I never thought that I'd be the lucky one.
With everything I've been thru
I find some body like you to share my love.

It's only me and you ...

Oh-o the man in the moon
(the man in the moon)
Oh-o the man in the moon.
The man in the moon.
The man in the moon.

It's only me and you ...





It's only me and you ...
