Fooled by the Moon

< instrumental opening > 

 

Fooled by the moon,

hurt by the stars,

skies full of blue,

helped you deceive me . . .

 

Stardust fell from out of the sky,

and, somehow, I couldn't see,

that my true love was passin' by,

why did I have to be . . .

 

Fooled by the moon,

hurt by the stars,

I love you too,

please do believe me . . .

 

You had me in heaven,

an' you brought me to earth too soon,

hurt by the stars,

and fooled by the moon . . .

 

< instrumental ending >
