Since you were a baby
How I've babied you
Now you're not a baby
And it makes me blue
Tonight you're going dancing
Your dreams may get a start, but
Don't you let that moonlight
Take advantage of your heart
You're...
Stepping out tonight
And the moon is shining bright
I know that you will have a lot of fun
But while dancing cheek to cheek
Do not let your heart grow weak
Just remember that's the moon, my son
She may thrill you to the skies
With the moonlight in her eyes
But moonlight fades away when night is done
You may kiss her if you can
But be careful, little man
Just remember that's the moon, my son
Maybe she's really very nice
Maybe you'll dream of shoes and rice
Sonny but you must know for sure
She's the one
But if she can reach your heart
Even when you're far apart
Then that's not the moon
That's love, my son
Maybe she's really very nice
Maybe you'll dream of shoes and rice
Sonny, but you must know for sure
She's the one
But if she can reach your heart
Even when you're far apart
Then you know that's not the moon
That's love, my son
