Moonlight Lyrics - Old 97's

There was a girl back in my town 

But I shouldn't bring up what I can't put down 

She was above reproach in every way 

One day I left the town I'm from 

And as hard as I tried she would not come along 

She left me alone in every way 

People are laughing and they're having such fun 

I wish it was happening to me 

This is the moonlight 

The very same moonlight, so how happy can I be? 

Now I'm alone and I'm at large 

What kind of fool puts me in charge? 

God, it's a lonely way I'm living these days 

There was a girl back in my town 

That I couldn't get over she won't come 'round 

You know she left me alone in every way 

People are laughing and they're having such fun 

I wish it was happening to me 

This is the moonlight 

The very same moonlight, so how happy can I be?
