Once I tried to capture the
rapture of the night,
Silly dreams I knew would
disappear,
But it seems they left a
souvenir,
One refrain eternally will haunt
me, taunt me.
It came from nowhere the night
that we met,
T'was like a melodious plea, wee
moon song that wasn't meant for me.
Why is it always reminding me of
a love dream that never could be.
Wee moon song that wasn't meant
for me.
It came gliding into my heart,
riding on a moonbeam from above.
Sorrow and this and the whole
world blended in a rhapsody of love.
There I heard her singing to
somebody else,
What I thought was my melody,
Wee moon song that wasn't meant
for me.
