Lyrics
Lyrics:
First verse
Honey don't you sigh Honey don't you cry Soon the long trail will be turning Turning once again back to lovers lane Then my poor heart will stop yearning There beside the river with the stars in the sky There where we whispered goodbye.
Chorus
When the harvest moon is shining I'll be pining dear for you, Down the land we'll wander again, as we used to do When the evening breeze is sighing We'll be happy just we two, When the harvest moon is shining my heart will be pining for you. When the harvest moon is shining I'll be pining dear for you, Down the land we'll wander again, as we used to do When the evening breeze is sighing We'll be happy just we two, When the harvest moon is shining my heart will be pining for you.
Second verse
Ev'ry night and day Since you've been away I read your letters to cheer me Ev'ry tenderline When I start to pine Seems then I feel you are near me Far across the meadows when the evening bells chime There in the sweet twilight time.
(Chorus)
