Lyrics
I know a stream where lovers dream
And birds and flowers woo
In Moonlight Land
Where hearts are always true
I’ll drift with you, my only one
When day is done
And know you understand
Sweet Moonlight Land
Drifting in the moonlight
Underneath the summer sky
Drifting while the breezes seem
To whisper “Bye and bye”
Love me while the moonlight’s splendor
Lights your dreamy eyes with love so tender
Drifting in the moonlight
Heart to heart and hand in hand
Moonbeam’s golden glory
Seems to shine and understand
Life is dearer, heaven is nearer
Drifting down in Moonlight Land
In Moonlight Land, in Moonlight Land
Where sweetest dreams come true
‘Tis there I float in my dreamboat with you
For it is there, when moonlight gleams
Sweetheart, it seems
Love’s dearest dreams are planned
In Moonlight Land
Where moonlight gleams on silvery streams
In dreamy Moonlight Land
