Lyrics

Moonbeam Memory
©2015 T.G. Vanini

In the place I was born the moonbeam grows
A pale and tender flower
And she only blooms when the moon is full
And she blooms for just one hour
A pale and tender flower

I recall the time when I saw her face
My moonbeam memory
And she sang her song to the rising moon
And she sang these words to me
My moonbeam memory

Chorus:
Oh the moon she’s a friend to me
Each time she comes my way
While she shines that’s enough for me
What need have I of day
Each time she comes my way

And I moved away as the young folk will
Through long and far-flung years
But in all the rooms where I laid my head
That song rang round my ears
Through long and far-flung years

Chorus

And when I am old and my time is near
I’ll find that tender flower
In the moonbeam grove that I once called home
And she’ll bloom for one more hour
My pale and tender flower

And I’ll lay me down in her company
My moonbeam memory
And she’ll raise her face to the rising moon
And she’ll sing her song for me
My moonbeam memory

Chorus

Oh the moon she’s a friend to me
Each time she comes my way
While she shines that’s enough for me
What need have I of day
Each time she comes my way
My moonbeam memory
