Lyrics

I would like to write a song about the moonlight But I know I'll have to write the way I feel How can I say the moon is bright When you're not with me at night? And to me, the moon beings are not real I would like to tell just why the stars are shining And just why they decorate the Milky Way How can I write about the stars When it's cloudy in my heart? And all my thoughts are on my darling Ruthie Mae Like the web that's in water Like the dawn that's in day You're in my veins, that you remain that way, that way Now it seems that all my songs are filled with sadness For the sadness in my heart is here to stay I know I'll never write a tune about the stars and about the moon Until you return, my darling Ruthie Mae Like the web that's in water Like the dawn that's in day You're in my veins, that you remain that way, that way Now it seems that all my songs are filled with sadness For the sadness in my heart is here to stay I know I'll never write a tune about the stars and about the moon Until you return, my darling Ruthie Mae Until you return, my darling Ruthie Mae
