13 Apr 04 - 12:47 AM (#1160469) Subject: RE: I see the moon, lyrics please From: Q (Frank Staplin) See thread 15710: I See the Moon for more of this old Mother Goose rhyme. A post there says it has been traced back to the late 18th c. Some of the verses, of course, are newer (W&M, S. Glover- Victorian; and others). |

The moon sees the one I long to see, So God bless the moon and God bless me, And God bless the one I long to see. I once had a love so strong so true, But she left me to go to you, So take good care as I have done, 'Cause you have two and I have none. CHORUS |

Still miss her lots!! This song came into my life not long after her death and I have spent a long time tracking it down, so its wonderful to have what appears to be the full lyrics. To all concerned a great big thankyou!!! |

25 Sep 05 - 12:57 AM (#1570143) Subject: RE: I see the moon, lyrics please From: GUEST My mom song this song to me but the 3rd verse I thought up. Here is how the song goes. I see the moon the moon sees me. The moon sees someone that I like to see. God bless the moon and god bless me, For you are the one I love. I had a heart and it was true. Take care of it from me to you. Take care of it like I would have done, For you are the one I love. Late at night it shines so bright It turns into my vivid night-light. It shines in like a candle's light And guides me to the sun. I see the moon the moon sees me. The moon sees someone that I like to see. God bless the moon and god bless me, For you are the one I love, For you are the one I love! |

10 Nov 05 - 10:13 PM (#1601930) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I See the Moon From: GUEST,lindnerpaul@hotmail.com I remember my mother singing this to me when I was young. I now sing this song to my daughter every night when she goes to sleep. I see the moon and the moon sees me. The moon sees somebody I'd like to see. God bless the moon and God bless me. Shine on the one I love. Over the mountains over the seas. Back where my heart is yearning to be. God bless the moon and God bless me. Shine on the one I love. Then you can repeat it once or twice. This song knocks her right out. |

11 Nov 05 - 02:52 PM (#1602530) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I See the Moon From: Q (Frank Staplin) Cyparissa- use the link to thread 15710 given above by Q, and at the head of that thread, you will find a link to the Mudcat Midi. (A rather painful imitation horn(?) midi; the tune is OK, but draggy) The original 18th c. verse is I see the moon, And the moon sees me; God bless the moon, And God bless me. All the others are later additions. |

Not only that but memories of Dickie Valentine performing it back in the home town of Scarborough when I was a very young girl and he did a summer season at my unole's theatre. How the years roll back! Polly |

God bless the moon and god bless me, and God bless the somebody I'd like to see. 1)I really think that the Lord above, created you for me to Love, and picked you out from all the rest, because he knew that I'd Love you the best. . 2) If I get to heaven before your there, I'll write your name on the Golden Stair, I'll write it so plain that the angels will see, just how much you mean to me. . . My Grandmother use to sing this to me when I got lonely for my Mom. . |

Seems to me that God above, created you for me to love, picked you out from all the rest, cause he knew I loved you best. I had a heart that was kind and true, and now it's gone from me to you, treat it well as I have done, for you have two and I have none. |

04 Aug 07 - 12:45 AM (#2118819) Subject: RE: I see the moon, lyrics please From: Celtaddict Oklahoma, 1950s, we sang I see the moon, the moon sees me, Down through the limbs of the old oak tree; Please let the light that shines on me Shine on the one I love. Over the mountains and over the sea, Back where my heart is longing to be, Please let the moon that shines on me Shine on the one I love. I also heard 'Lord let the light...' |

04 Aug 07 - 12:15 PM (#2119030) Subject: RE: I see the moon, lyrics please From: Celtaddict After I posted that, in the shower, I recalled we sang another verse: I hear the lark, the lark hears me, (la, la-la-la, la, la) melody, Please let the lark that sings to me, Sing to the one I love. 'down through the limbs of the old oak tree' would fit too and it might have been sung that way; the 'melody' could be in my mind from childhood attempts to 'improve' the lyric; I tried that sometimes. The 'rose' verse seems to match this pattern, too, and sounds almost familiar, though I do not recall actually singing it. After I thought about the lark I was trying to recall if there were any others; verses for 'smell' or 'taste' did not seem to make sense, but it seemed as if there should be three, and some sort of 'feel' (a breeze?) was in my mind, but really do not remember such. |
