The moon and I, we know each other well   I'm safe beneath its light   It passes by, and sees but doesn't tell   The secrets of the night   Like the sweet forbidden feelings deep inside me   The longing for the lover, who's denied me   To feel him, beside me      The moon and I, pretend he's in my arms   Each night it hears me cry   And when I sleep, I dream that soon   I'll tell my love, some sunlit afternoon   What no one knows, but the moon and I      [Interlude]      And just as the sea, with its tides   I'm tied to the moon, when its full   So am I      The moon and I, pretend he's in my arms   Each night it hears us cry   And when I sleep, I dream that soon   I'll tell my love, some sunlit afternoon   What no ones knows, but the moon and I
