If the Moon Turns Green - Nat Adderley, Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, Carmen McRae

Just when I thought that fate was unkind,

That happiness wasn’t to be,

I got a shock and I changed my mind,

A miracle happened to me.

If the moon turns green and shadows get up and walk around,

And clouds come tumbling to the ground,

I wouldn’t be surprised,

'Cause didn’t you fall in love with me?

If the stars turn blue and Willows that weep begin to sing,

And winter changes into Spring,

I wouldn’t raise my eyes,

'Cause didn’t you fall in love with me?

I thought I was foolish to think of romance

With someone so charming as you,

Thought I was hoping without any chance.

But ev’ry hope came true.

If the moon turns green and rivers begin to flow up stream,

And this is all a crazy dream,

I wouldn’t be surprised,

'Cause anything can happen if you can fall in love with me.
