Lyric
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
There’s a full moon out tonightAll the stars are shining brightThe same way that they used to do.And it reminds me ofThe night we fell in loveBeneath that old Missouri moon.Who’d have ever thought we’d end this wayAs I watch you go the tears are rolling down my face.Who’d have ever thought I’d be so blueAs I cry beneath that old Missouri moon.I can’t remember when it started to beginThat I gave my heart away to youAnd then when we touchedI have never felt so muchIt was in that moment that I knew.Who’d have ever thought we’d end this wayAs I watch you go the tears are rolling down my face.Who’d have ever thought I’d be so blueAs I cry beneath that old Missouri moon.As I cry beneath that old Missouri moonMissouri moon, Missouri moon.
