Mr. Moonlight

The Beatles · Beatles For Sale (Remastered) [2009]

Mr. Moonlight

You came to me

one summer night

And from your beam you made my dream

And from the world you sent my girl

And from above you sent us love

And now she in mine

I think you're fine

because we love you

Mr. Moonlight

Mr. Moonlight,

come again please

here I am on my knees

beggin if you please

And the night you don't come my way

I pray and pray more each day

because we love you

Mr. Moonlight

And the night you don't come my way

I pray and pray more each day

because we love you

Mr. Moonlight

Mr. Moonlight

Mr. Moonlight

Mr. Moonlight

Recorded in 1963, "Mr. Moonlight" stands as a hauntingly beautiful track from The Beatles' *Beatles for Sale*. The song features a distinctive, repetitive vocal melody that creates an ethereal atmosphere, characteristic of the band's early exploration of folk and pop fusion. Written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon-McCartney, the composition captures a sense of melancholic wonder, reflecting the group's growing sophistication during their Hamburg and London touring years. Its inclusion on the *Beatles for Sale* album highlights the band's ability to blend simple structures with emotional depth, cementing its status as a classic example of their early catalog.
