[Verse 1]
There's a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love still in my heart
I remember now that I'm older
What you told me the day we had to part
You promised with the new moon you'd be coming back to me
Now many moons have passed, since then, I'm waiting patiently

[Chorus]
There's a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love still in my heart

[Verse 2]
There's a new moon over my shoulder and an old love still in my heart
Now I'm wishing that I had been bolder
Then perhaps we wouldn't bе so far apart
You promised that you'd write me, so far thеre's, not a line
Still, I wait and make believe that some day you'll be mine

[Chorus]
There's a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love still in my heart

[Verse 3]
My darling, I've been praying for your safe return to me
Then we'd still be sweetheart, just the way we used to be
[Chorus]
There's a new moon over my shoulder
And an old love still in my heart
