Memphis Moonlight

Marti Pellow

I stayed up late
And watched the moon on the river
I sat on the bed
And hoped you wouldn't leave
I looked out the window
At the cars on the street
What had I said

I saw the Memphis Moonlight sky
I wiped another tear from my eye
As another day drifts by
I'm thinking of you (thinking of you)
In the Memphis Moonlight (Moonlight)
In the Memphis Moonlight (Moonlight)

I woke up tired
And watched the rain gently falling
I laid on the bed
Then hoped you would return
Your face at my front door
Was a dream come true

I saw the Memphis Moonlight sky
I wiped another tear from my eye
As another day drifts by
I'm thinking of you (thinking of you)
In the Memphis Moonlight (Moonlight)
In the Memphis Moonlight (Moonlight)

She sits with me
The neon in her eyes
The sun would never rise
Until the misty morning
It's all turned out
Day turns to night…

Day turns to night

I stayed up late
Watched the moon on the river
I sat on the bed
Then hoped you wouldn't leave
I looked out the window
At the cars on the street
What had I said

I saw the Memphis Moonlight sky
I wiped another tear from my eye
As another day drifts by
I'm thinking of you (thinking of you)
In the Memphis Moonlight (Moonlight)
In the Memphis Moonlight (Moonlight)
In the Memphis Moonlight (Moonlight)
In the Memphis Moonlight…(Moonlight)
(Moonlight) yeah
In the Memphis Moonlight (Moonlight)
Wake up til in the moonlight, yeah
Oh, we're dancing in the Memphis Moonlight, yeah
Oh, we're dancing in the Memphis Moonlight
Oh, I am that gold, gold moonlight, ya
The Memphis Moonlight
Oh, that Memphis Moonlight
Oh, that Memphis Moonlight
Oh, we're dancing in that Memphis Moonlight, Moonlight
Oh, in that moonlight
Oh, we're dancing in that moonlight
Oh, that Memphis Moonlight
Oh, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby
Won't you hold me in that Memphis Moonlight
In that Memphis Moonlight
On this moment
Only you, oh…
