Subject: Lyr Req: Moonlight On The Colorado -Riley Puckett
Hi, I miss the second sentence of this song by Riley Puckett. I submit that I have found so far. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance!


Each night, I sat beside the campfire dreaming

                                          across the sea

And as I watch the amber soflty bleeming

I always picture in my memory


Moonlight on the river Colorado

How I wish that I were there with you

As I sit and find each lonely shadow

Takes me back to days that we once knew


We were to wed in harvest time you said

That's why I'm longing for you

When it's moonlight on the Colorado

I wonder if you're waiting for me too


Sweetheart, do you recall the night we parted?

Beneath the moonlight on the river shore

Each time I see the moon, I'm broken hearted

Just longing to return to you once more



We were to wed in harvest time you said

That's why I'm longing for you

When it's moonlight on the Colorado

I wonder if you're waiting for me too
