Lyrics

I wish that we could live up in the sky
Where we could find a place away up high
To live among the stars, the sun, the moon
Just you and I

Chorus
East of the sun and west of the moon
We’ll build a dream-house of love, dear
Near to the sun in the day
Near to the moon at night
We’ll live in a lovely way, dear
Living on love and pale moonlight
Just you and I, forever and a day
Love will not die, we’ll keep it that way
Up among the stars we’ll find
A harmony of life to a lovely tune
East of the sun and west of the moon, dear
East of the sun and west of the moon
