Lyrics
Like a baby crying for the moon
Like a baby crying for the moon
I continue to fall in love with you
Though you’ve gone away to stay forever
Yet as I remember hearts in tune
What is now December once was June
Memories bring a thrill, and I crave you still
Like a baby crying for the moon
Interlude
One day, two days, then comes a third
Without a word, I’m left alone
One month, two months, passes a year
Each tomorrow, means more sorrow
One drop, two drops, tears fill my eyes
Till my heart cries, “let me atone!”
I pray I may, feel gay some day
Please forgive, must I live
