VERSE 01: All alone, ‘neath the moon,/Dreaming while it wanes;/Just a dream of the past ‘tis all that now remains;/Long ago you and I on a night in June,/Saw our hope wane and die, just like the Broken moon. REFRAIN: Broken moon, up above us shining,/If it told all the things it knew,/It could tell, of sad hearts pining/And of hearts that are broken too,/It could count ev’ry broken promise,/And each hope that had died too soon,/For it knows e’vry dream as it glows and gleams and fades like a broken moon. VERSE 02: As a dream ‘neath the moon,/You came back to me,/And again I can hear some old time melody,/Sweet and low, down the lane, when the darkies croon,/And we join each refrain, beneath the Broken moon. | |
