Lyrics
- Sometimes, all times, Mister Moon
Someone needs you when there’s love undying
Come on, shine on, Mister Moon
Can’t you hear a Dixie lover sighing, crying?
Chorus:
Lazy Lou’siana moon, start shining
Give the evening sky a silver lining
Lazy Lou’siana moon take warning
‘Cause morning will soon be dawning
Lazy Lou’siana moon say “Howdy”
Make believe the skies are not so cloudy
Come from your heavenly hideaway
And light the way to love
- When you’re missing, Mister Moon
I confess my heart is full of sadness
Time for kissing, Mister Moon
Light the heaven with your light of love’s own gladness
