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
