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 Now 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 that I had been bolder then perhaps we wouldn't be /So far apart You promised that you'd write me, so far there's not a line Still I wait and make believe that some day you'll be mine There's a new moon over my shoulder and an old love still in my heart My darling, I've been praying for your safe return to me Then we'd still be sweetheart just the way we used to be There's a new moon over my shoulder and an old love still in my heart
