Once I tried to capture the rapture of the night
Silly dreams I knew would disappear
But it seems they left a souvenir
One refrain eternally will haunt me, taunt me
It came from nowhere the night that we met
T'was like a melodious plea, sweet moon song that wasn't meant for me

Why is it always reminding me of a love dream that never could be
Sweet moon song that wasn't meant for me

It came gliding into my heart, riding on a moonbeam from above
Sorrow and this and the whole world blended in a rhapsody of love
Then I heard her singing to somebody else
What I thought was my melody
Sweet moon song that wasn't meant for me
