Dreaming of when we're together Can he be thinking tonight of me? Dreaming of our night together Tell him I'm longing for him Silver moon Please bring him quickly To my arms sweet moon Tell him I'm longing for him Silver moon Please bring him quickly to my arms Sweet moon If by chance he should dream of me Let his memory wakened be O moon, forsake me not, forsake me not O moon, forsake me not
