Willows were swaying The water was rippling The froggies were singing Along with the laughing at the bank We have the moon to thank For this lovely scene We might never have seen If it hadn't have been for the moon Why, look at that moon Away up high, seeing everything That goes by Why, look at that moon Why, why, why, look at the moon Why, why, why, look at the moon Sitting in the desert Beneath a lonesome sky Cool, my oh my, it would be If it never been above That fateful little boy That one who has beheld true love through history Why must it start? Why must lovers part? Why does the cheatin' go on? Why have hearts turned to stone? Why, look at that moon Away up high, seeing everything That goes by Why, look at that moon Why, why, why, look at the moon Why, why, why, look at the moon Why, look at that moon Ain't it grand! Why, look at that moon Helps me understand Why, look at that moon Inspirator of many a dream Why, look at that moon
