There's a New Moon Over My Shoulder

There's A New Moon Over My Shoulder - Tex Ritter

There's 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

But many moons have passed since then

I'm waiting patiently

There's a new moon over my shoulder

And an old love still in my heart

There's 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 not be so far apart

You promised you would write me

But so far there's not a line

But still I wait and make believe

That someday you'll be mine

There's a new moon over my shoulder

And an old love still in my heart

And so I keep on praying

For your safe return someday

And that we'll be the same sweethearts

As when you went away

There's a new moon over my shoulder

And an old love still in my heart
