Moonlight In Vermont
Harry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pennies in a stream
Falling leaves a sycamore
Moonlight in Vermont

Gentle finger waves
Ski trails down a mountain side
Snow light in Vermont
Telegraph cables--how they sing down the highway
As they travel each bend in the road
And when people meet, in this romantic setting
They're so hypnotized be the lovely

Evening summer breeze




Sweet warblings of the meadowlark
Moonlight in Vermont
