Moonlight Bay
Words by Edward Madden (1912)
Music by Percy Wenrich


Voices hum, crooning over Moonlight Bay,
Banjos strum, tuning while the moonbeams play.
All alone, unknown they find me
Memories like these remind me
Of the girl I left behind me,
Down on Moonlight Bay

Chorus:
We were sailing along, on Moonlight Bay,
We could hear the voices ringing,
They seemed to say,
"You have stolen her heart,
Now don't go 'way."
As we sang Love's Old Sweet Song,
On Moonlight Bay.
Candle lights gleaming on the silent shore;
Lonely nights, dreaming till we meet once more.
Far apart, her heart is yearning
With a sigh for my returning,
With the light of love still burning,
As in days of yore.
Chorus
