LYRICS:
(Here's a big surprise
That will open up your eyes
When you hear this sweet refrain
So without ado
We bring to you
The song that brought
Miss Katie fame!)
All by myself at twilight
Watching the day depart
And with the fading twilight
Happiness fills my heart
When the moon comes over the mountain
Every beam brings a dream dear, of you
Once again we stroll 'neath the mountain
Through that rose-covered valley we knew
Each day is gray and so dreary
But the night is bright and cheery
When the moon comes over the mountain
I'm alone with my memories of you
When the moon starts shinin' in the sky
Ridin' over the mountain high
WIth every beam that's gleamin'
I can't help dreamin' of you
Sweet you
Once again we'll stroll
See the old moon roll
Way over the mountain
Through the rose-covered valley
Where we used to dilly-dally
It's our favorite rendezvous
Each day
Is gray
And you can't help feelin' dreary
But the night
Is bright
It's so comfy and cheery
When the moon comes over the mountain
I'm wonderin' where you are
And how you are
With my memories of you
Long live the theme
That we are shoutin'
When the moon comes over the mountain!
