Artist/Band: Wynton Marsalis
Lyrics for Song: East Of The Sun (West Of The Moon)
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Wynton Marsalis



East of the sun and west of the moon


We'll build a dream house of love dear


Close to the sun in the day


Near to the moon at night


We'll live in a lovely way dear


Sharing our love in the pale moonlight





Just you and I,


Forever and a day


Love will not die,


We'll keep it that way


Up among the stars


We'll find a harmony of life to a lovely tune


East of the sun and west of the moon dear


East of the sun and west of the moon


East Of The Sun (West Of The Moon)
