Intro: NC (piano appegio F)
I spent my da-a-ays
Just moo-oo-oo-oo-oon-ning so sad and blu-ue
So sad and blu-ue
I spent my ni-i-ights
Just moo-oo-oo-oo-oon-ning all over yo- ou
(All over who-o?)
[Jan harmonizes from the second words of the following, starting from Eb, her
notes move up a tone with every second chord change.]
Well I'm so full of lo-o-ove
As any fool ca-an see
'Cause an-gels up a-bo-ove
[Jan stops harmonizing from this line, piano plays the intro on 'moon']
NC ()
Have hu-u-ung the moon o-on me
(Why must you go-o-o)
Why must I go-o-o
Just moo-oo-oo-oo-oon-ning
So all a-lo- one
(So all a-lo-one)
There would be no-o-o
(There would be no-o-o)
More moo-oo-oo-oo-oon-ning
If you would ca-all me
(Up on the pho-one)
[Jan harmonizes from the second words of the following, starting from Eb, her
notes move up a tone with every second chord change.]
While lying by myself in bed
I cry and get myself the red eye
BOTH
Moo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oon-ning o-o-ver yo- ou
[Bass and trumpet play D,Eb,E,F, guitar rings F chord]
[Accordion rings, and piano appegios F7 chord when 'stand' is held]
NC
I'll stand
[Bass, guitar rejoins on [-hi-]
Be-hi-i-ind
(You'll stay be-hi-i-ind)
You moo-oo-oo-oo-oon-ning
Forever mo-ore
(Forever mo-ore)
Some-day you'll fi-i-ind
(Someday you'll fi-i-ind)
Me moo-oo-oo-oo-oon-ning at your front do-o-or
(At my front do-o-or)
Whoa,
[Jan harmonizes from the second words of the following, starting from Eb, her
notes move up a tone with every second chord change.]
Every-y-day at school I watch ya
Alwa-ays will un-ti-il I got you
(ring) (ring)
Moo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oon-ning
(ring)
Too-oo
There's a moon out tonight
