038 - How High The Moon
Verse 1
^ Some-where there’s mu-sic,
how faint the tune!
Some-where there’s heav-en,
how high the moon!
There is no moon a-bove
when love is far a-way too,
till it comes true
^ that you love me, as I love you. (straight on →)
Verse 2
Some-where there’s mu-sic,
it’s where you are.
Some-where there’s heav-en,
how near, how far!
The dark-est night would shine
if you would come to me soon
^ un-til you will, how still my heart,
how high the moon.
[16 x Bar Instrumental]

how high the moon.
