There's A New Moon Over My Shoulder
(Tex Ritter)
There's a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love, still in my heart
I remember, now that I'm older
What you told me, the day we had to part
You promised, with the new moon
You'd be coming back to me
But many moons have passed since then
I'm waiting patiently
There's a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love, still in my heart
There's a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love, still in my heart
Now I'm wishing I had been bolder
Then perhaps, we would not be so far apart
You promised you would write me
But so far, there's not a line
But still I wait and make believe
That someday, you'll be mine
There's a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love, still in my heart
And so I keep on praying
For your safe return someday
And that we'll be the same sweethearts
As when you went away
There's a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love, still in my heart.
