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
There's a new moon over my shoulder and an old love still in my heart
[ steel - dobro ]
So I'll keep on praying for your safe return someday
And that we'll be the same sweethearts as when you went away
There's a new moon over my shoulder and an old love still in my heart
