Dancing on the Moon

Dancing On The Moon

When I was a young man I met a gypsy girl
Down in the valley by the stream
As she skipped along she sang a gypsy song
And danced to a swinging tambourine

She walked with me and we spoke of many things
Of life and love both hers and mine
She said come back tonight and as a guiding light
I will burn a candle as a sign

I kissed her face and she held me so tight
She said love is like dancing on the moon

At the break of the day as she slept I slipped away
But then she knew I must return
Back to that place by darkness I would race
To where the candle would burn

And while the candle was burning so bright
Night birds were singing their tune
I kissed her face and she held me so tight
She said love is like dancing on the moon

Could she see it in her crystal ball some secret part of my brain
When all the feeling of love were gone
She'd turn me on again

Then one cloudy night there was no candlelight
My gypsy lover had gone
But every now and then I go back there again
To sit and remember her song

And while the candle was burning so bright
Night birds were singing their tune
I kissed her face and she held me so tight
She said love is like dancing on the moon

And while the candle was burning so bright
Night birds were singing their tune
I kissed her face and she held me so tight
She said love is like dancing
Love is like dancing love is like dancing on the moon
