There was a girl back in my town   But I shouldn't bring up what I can't put down   She was above reproach in every way   One day I left the town I'm from   And as hard as I tried she would not come along   She left me alone in every way      People are laughing and they're having such fun   I wish it was happening to me   This is the moonlight   The very same moonlight, so how happy can I be?      Now I'm alone and I'm at large   What kind of fool puts me in charge?   God, it's a lonely way I'm living these days   There was a girl back in my town   That I couldn't get over she won't come 'round   You know she left me alone in every way      People are laughing and they're having such fun   I wish it was happening to me   This is the moonlight   The very same moonlight, so how happy can I be?      This is the moonlight   The very same moonlight, so how happy can I be?
