Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I let the moon steal my heart
You've been gone so long I couldn't stay at home
What could I do but give to him my love
So dear now he's the only one I'm thinking of
Too many miles too many days
Too many nights I was alone
His love was so grand when he held my hand
I let the stars get in my eyes
I let the moon steal my heart
You've been gone so long I couldn't stay at home
What could I do but give to him my love
So dear now he's the only one I'm thinking of
Long Instrumental
I let the stars get in my eyes
I let the moon steal my heart
You've been gone so long I couldn't stay at home
What could I do but give to him my love
So dear now he's the only one I'm thinking of
Too many miles too many days
Too many nights I was alone
His love was so grand when he held my hand
You know how the moonlight lures you on
I let the stars get in my eyes
I let the moon steal my heart
You've been gone so long I couldn't stay at home
What could I do but give to him my love
So dear now he's the only one I'm thinking of
