"Unchained Melody"
MOONLIGHT DANCE
He was tall, good looking strong and lean, She looked and saw him standing there, He promised his love would never fade, Every year when it was the first day of June, Take a look at the sky on the first day in June, Don't let this sweet story make you feel sad, ©copyright Johnnie Oakes
She was a sweet young girl, a tiny thing.
She sat under the tree in the pale moonlight
His heart taking notice of the lovely sight.
His hand reaching out to her in the warm summer air.
He pulled her close as they danced into the night,
She was still in his arms at dawn's early light.
He made her his own in the shadows' cascade.
It was a short three weeks later she became his bride,
They vowed to always walk side by side.
He would dance with his girl by the light of the moon.
Many years have passed they both are now gone,
Yet still today this love remains strong,
Here the haunting sound of a lovely tune.
See them dance together beneath the pale moonlight,
As they dance together 'til dawn's early light.
It is just a sweet memory of my Mom and Dad.
