BY THE LIGHT OF THE SILVERY MOON
(words by Ed Madden, music by Gus Edwards)

VERSE 1:
Place park, scene dark.
Silv'ry moon is shining through the trees;
Cast two, me, you
Sound of kisses floating on the breeze.
Act one, begun,
Dialog, "Where would you like to spoon?"
My cue, with you:
Underneath the silv'ry moon.

CHORUS:
By the light of the silvery moon,
I want to spoon,
To my honey I'll croon love's tune,
Honeymoon, keep a-shining in June;
Your silv'ry beams will bring love dreams,
We'll be cuddling soon,
By the silvery moon.

VERSE 2:
Act two, scene new,
Roses blooming all around the place;
Cast three, you, me,
Preacher with a solemn-looking face.
Choir sings, bell rings,
Preacher: "You are wed forevermore."
Act two, all through,
Ev'ry night the same encore.
By the light....
