Memphis Moonlight

Marti Pellow


I stayed up late  
and watched the moon on the river  
I sat on the bed  
I hoped you would't leave  
I looked out the window  
at the cars on the street  
what had I said....  
I saw the Memphis Moonlight sky  
I wiped another tear from my eye  
as another day drifts by  
I'm thinking of you  
in the Memphis Moonlight 
I wake up tired  
and watched the rain gently falling  
I laid on the bed  
I hoped you would return  
your face at the front door  
was a dream come true  
I saw the Memphis Moonlight sky  
I watched another plane flying high  
as another day drifts by  
thinking of you  
in the Memphis Moonlight 

She sits with me  
the neon in her eyes  
the sun will never rise  
until the misty morning  
it's all turned out  
as day turns to night  

I stayed up late  
and watched the moon on the river  
I sat on the bed  
I hoped you would't leave  
I looked out the window  
at the cars on the street  
what had I said....  
I saw the Memphis Moonlight sky  
I wiped another tear from my eye  
as another day drifts by  
I'm thinking of you  
in the Memphis Moonlight
