Lyrics

Mister Mahoney, the moon has disappeared
That's the valley legend, Sharon
They who meet on an April night are forever lost in love
If there's moonlight all about and there's no moon above
I look at you and suddenly
Something in your eyes I see
Soon begins bewitchin' me
It's that old devil moon
That you stole from the skies
It's that old devil moon
In your eyes
You and your glance
Make this romance
Too hot to handle
Stars in the night
Blazin' their light
Can't hold a candle
To your razzle-dazzle
You've got me flyin' high and wide
On a magic carpet ride
Full of butterflies inside
Wanna cry, wanna croon
Wanna laugh like a loon
It's that old devil moon
In your eyes
Mister Mahoney, it takes two to make a valley legend
I look at you and suddenly
Something in your eyes I see
Soon begins bewitchin' me
It's that old devil moon
That you stole from the skies
It's that old devil moon
In your eyes
You and your glance
Make this romance
Too hot to handle
Stars in the night
Blazin' their light
Can't hold a candle
To your razzle-dazzle
You've got me flyin' high and wide
On a magic carpet ride
Full of butterflies inside
Wanna cry, wanna croon
Wanna laugh like a loon
It's that old devil moon
In your eyes
Just when I think I'm free as a dove
Old devil moon
Deep in your eyes
Blinds me with love
