Moon of gold in the sky, 
my loving sweetheart said goodbye. 
Those moonlight kisses that she shared with me 
are just a memory. 

By the light of your glow 
those tender love words whispered low 
were just a promise that never came true, 
for she found someone new. 

How, how was I to know she'd soon go 
and leave me longing in the moon glow. 

Since she's gone I'm alone, 
I have no sweetheart of my own, 
Just a memory of a love that's grown cold, 
and a tarnished moon of gold. 

Since she's gone I'm alone, 
I have no sweetheart of my own, 
just a memory of a love that's grown cold, 
and a tarnished moon of gold.
