Lyrics
The moon was lovely, my heart was enraptured
You, too, were lovely, but could you be captured?
What could I do, I heard the call of the Spring
And youth must have its fling
Chorus
I threw a bean bag at the moon
A sentimental fool in love was I
I thought that I could reach the moon
But I guess I must have aimed too high, too high, too high
I sang a love song to your heart
You didn’t seem to hear my lullaby
I thought that I could reach your heart
But I guess I must have aimed too high, too high, too high
Why did I dream those dreams, Heavens above me
How silly of me to imagine you’d love me?
I threw a bean bag at the moon
It didn’t have a chance to reach the sky
It tumbled down to earth too soon
Well, I guess I must have aimed too high, too high, too high
