By the Bright Silvery Moon

I was strolling down the lane

With my sweetheart by the hand,

She was asking a favour of the moon.

And though we were so young

Yet we were both as one,

'Neath the bright silvery of the moon.

 

So shine on silver light,

Shine on through the night

The nightingales are singing their sweet song

Well there's not a time so sweet

As when two lovers meet

Neath the bright silvery light of the moon.

 

I gave to her a ring

We named our wedding day

We planned on being married in the spring

Now I thank the stars above

For the night we fell in love

Neath the bright silvery light of the moon.

 

Shine on through the night

The nightingales are singing their sweet song

Well there's not a time so sweet

As when two lovers meet

Neath the bright silvery light of the moon

Neath the bright silvery light of the moon.
