Since you were a baby,
how I've babied you
Now you're not a baby,
and it makes me blue
To night you're going dancing,
your dreams may get a start
But don't you let that moonlight
take ad vantage of your heart
You're stepping out tonight,
and the moon is shining bright
I know that you will
have a lot of fun
But while dancing cheek to cheek,
do not let your heart grow weak
Just remember, that's the moon,
my son
She may thrill you to the skies
With the moonlight in her eyes
But moonlight fades away
when night is gone
You may kiss her if you can
But be careful, little man
Just remember that's the moon,
my son
May be she's really very nice
Maybe you'll dream of
shoes and rice
Sonny, but you must know for sure
She's the one
But if she can reach your heart
Even when you're far apart
Then that's not the moon,
that's love, my son
Maybe she's really very nice
Maybe you'll dream of
shoes and rice
Sonny, but you must know for sure
She is the one
But if she can reach your heart
Even when you're far apart
Then you know, know, that's not the moon,
that's love, my son
