Melancholy strains of a lone violin
Ethereal music haunting the night
Notes on the air float in sadness
The moonlight is saying goodnight

to the lovers entwined for the last time
as they sway to the music with grace
Clinging before they are parted
The Moon wipes a tear from her face

bathing the couple in silvery shining
She sprinkles her moon-dust and sighs
for the lovers entwined for the last time
The moonlight is saying goodbye
