#56 The Moon Is Made Of Gold 

moon14day-1985-600c 

Rickie Lee Jones (1990) 

Double Bass: Rob Wasserman (song collected in Rob Wasserman's album Duet) 

Written by Rickie's father, Richard Jones, as a lullaby for her 

Live at the Wiltern Theatre (1992) 

Don't feel bad 

Because the sun went down 

The night has wealth untold 

You just keep watching 

And you soon will see 

The moon is made of gold 

And now the stars appear 

And as they do 

All heaven they unfold 

Don't feel bad 

Because the sun went down 

The moon is made of gold 

* (Oh you) See how the shadows 

Enhanced by the light above 

Dance in the night 

As the breeze sigh 

Soon you will be asleep 

Into your dreams will creep 

Visions of fairies 

Flyin' through the sky 

And one by one 

Your dreams will all come true 

Magic you behold 

Don't feel bad 

Because the sun went down 

The moon is made of gold 

(* repeat) 

The night is magic 

And the moon is made of gold
