There's a New Moon over My Shoulder Songtext

von 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
