Blue Moonlight

Billy Walker · Cross the Brazos at Waco [Bear Family (Germany)] [1993]

(Cindy Walker)



I fell in love on a moonlit night

In the blue moon light of old Mexicali

I kissed red lips neath the blossoms of white

In the blue moon light and I was so happy.



Because I was happy I broke the vows I made to another

And I made promisses I couldn't keep

Now I'm alone in the silent night

And as blue moon light touches my pillow I weep.



I weep for the heart that I've broken apart

And the shame in my soul never die

For I promised that I'd be returning but I knew I was saying goodbye

For I wasn't free God forgive me only he knows what I feel inside.



Because I was happy I broke the vows I made to another

And I made promisses I couldn't keep

Now I'm alone in the silent night

And as blue moon light touches my pillow I weep...
