Memphis Moonlight - Marti Pellow

I stayed up late

and watched the moon on the river

I sat on the bed

I hoped you would’t leave

I looked out the window

at the cars on the street

what had I said…

I saw the Memphis Moonlight sky

I wiped another tear from my eye

as another day drifts by

I’m thinking of you

in the Memphis Moonlight

I wake up tired

and watched the rain gently falling

I laid on the bed

I hoped you would return

your face at the front door

was a dream come true

I saw the Memphis Moonlight sky

I watched another plane flying high

as another day drifts by

thinking of you

in the Memphis Moonlight

She sits with me

the neon in her eyes

the sun will never rise

until the misty morning

it’s all turned out

as day turns to night

I stayed up late

and watched the moon on the river

I sat on the bed

I hoped you would’t leave

I looked out the window

at the cars on the street

what had I said…

I saw the Memphis Moonlight sky

I wiped another tear from my eye

as another day drifts by

I’m thinking of you

in the Memphis Moonlight
