Lyrics: (Separate Lyrics)
It must have been moonglow
Way up in the blue,
It must have been moonglow
That led me straight to you.

I still hear you saying,
"Dear one, hold me fast,"
And I started in praying,
"Oh lord, please let this last."

We seemed to float right through the air,
Heavenly songs seemed to come from ev'ry where.

And now when there's moonglow
Way up in the blue,
I always remember
That moonglow gave me you.
