Lyrics
Thank you, alright
Alright
Somewhere there's music
How faint the tune
Somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon
There is no love when love is far away too
'Til it comes true
That you love me as I love you
Somewhere there's heaven
It's where you are
Somewhere there's music
How near, how far
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
How high the moon
High high the moon
Is the name of this song
High high the moon
Though the words may be wrong
We're singing it because you asked for it
So we're swinging it just for you
How high the moon
Does it touch the stars
How high the moon
Does it reach out to Mars
Though the words may be wrong to the song
We're asking a high, high, high, high
High is the moon
Though the words may be wrong to the song
We're ought to make high, high, high, high
High, high, high, high, high
I guess these people wonder what I'm singing
How high the moon
Ever see a dream walking? Well I did
A tisket, a tasket I lost my yellow basket
Havin' a heat wave, tropical heat wave
I guess I better quit while I'm ahead
With high, high, high, high, high
High, high, high, high, high
High, high, high is the moon
High, high, high, high, high is the moon
Way, way back home in Idaho
High, high, high, high, high is the moon
High, high, high, high, high is the moon
They ask me how I knew my true love was true
I of course replied, something here inside
Sweat gets in my eyes
High, high, high, high, high is the moon
