Lyrics
Moon shinin’ on the river
Come along, my Liza
Breeze singin’ through the treetops
Come along, my Liza
Somethin’ mighty sweet
I wanna whisper sweet and low
That you ought to know, my Liza
I get lonesome, honey
When I’m all alone so long
Don’t make me wait, don’t hesitate
Come and hear my song
Refrain:
Liza, Liza, skies are gray
But if you smile on me
All the clouds’ll roll away
Liza, Liza, don’t delay
Come, keep me company
And the clouds’ll roll away
See the honeymoon a-shining down
We should make a date with Parson Brown
So, Liza, Liza name the day
When you’ll belong to me
And the clouds’ll roll away
