There's A New Moon Over My Shoulder

There's New Moon Over My Shoulder
(Tex Ritter)

There's a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love, still in my heart
I remember, now that I'm older
What you told me, the day we had to part

You promised, with the new moon
You'd [bad word] back to me
But many moons have passed since then
I'm waiting patiently

There's a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love, still in my heart

There's a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love, still in my heart
Now I'm wishing I had been bolder
Then perhaps, we would not be so far apart

You promised you would write me
But so far, there's not a line
But still I wait and make believe
That someday, you'll be mine

There's a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love, still in my heart

And so I keep on praying
For your safe return someday
And that we'll be the same sweethearts
As when you went away

There's a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love, still in my heart.
