Lyrics
There’s a wonderful light in the sky tonight
With silver the hills are sprayed
And the moon seems so near
That I know it will hear ev’ry word of my love serenade
Chorus
Roll along Prairie Moon
Roll along while I croon
Shine above lamp of love Prairie Moon
Way up there in the blue maybe you’re lonely too
Swinging by in the sky Prairie Moon
I need your tender light
To make things right
You know I’m so alone tonight
Far away shed your beams on the girl of my dreams
Tell her too, I’ve been true Prairie Moon
Sung here by Vancha March:
