(Jimmie Davis - L. Blastic - E. Whelan)

There is a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love still in my heart
I remember now that I'm older
What you told me the day we had to part:

You promised with the new moon
You'd be coming back to me
Many moons have passed,
Still I'm waiting patiently

There is a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love still in my heart

Instrumental

There is a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love still in my heart
Now I'm wishing I had been bolder,
Then perhaps we would'nt been so far apart

You promised you would write me,
But so far not a line
Still I wait, and make believe,
That someday you'll be mine

There is a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love still in my heart...
