Lyrics
The night wind is caressing the willow tree
This is the hour when my loved one
Will come to me in the moonlight
Chorus
You’re my moonlight love
Like an angel from nowhere you came
In the shadows you whisper my name
While stars in the water shine
You’re my moonlight love
Soft and gentle are your finger tips
And like heaven the touch of your lips
Tonight you are mine, all mine
I wait for you where the lilacs grow
In the stillness of the night
Come to my arms with your eyes aglow
In the silvery light
You’re my moonlight love,
Though you leave me when stars fade away
Kiss me darling and tenderly say
We’ll meet in the moonlight again
