Verse:

Like someone that hasn't any country,  Like a stranger visiting from Mars,

I went around alone,  Just like a rolling stone, Until I read a message in the stars.

 

Chorus:

It must have been Moonglow,  Way up in the blue,

It must have been Moonglow,  That led me straight to you.

I still hear you saying "Dear one, hold me fast."

And I start in praying, Oh Lord, please let this last.

We seemed to float right thru the air,

Heavenly songs seemed to come from ev'ry where,

And now when there's Moonglow, Way up in the blue,

I always remember that Moonglow gave me you.
