Lyrics
- Just last night when I was feeling blue
Thinking of someone I love
Just last night a tiny beam of light
Came from the moon up above
Just as he started away
I had to stop him and say
Chorus
When you peekaboo again
Through my sweetie’s window pane
Moonbeam! Kiss her for me
Dance across the pillow case
Till you see the sweetest face
Moonbeam! Kiss her for me
You may see a pearly smile agleam
If it’s of a love nest that she’s dreaming
Tell her that her sweetie’s true
Then before you say “Adieu”
Moonbeam! Kiss her for me
- All alone I looked up at the stars
There where the moon was so bright
All alone the wind began to moan
“Where is your sweetie tonight?”
Feeling so burdened with care
I softly whispered this prayer
