Blue Moon of Kentucky
LeAnn Rimes · Unchained Melody: The Early Years
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
I said blue moon of Kentucky keep on shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
I said blue moon of Kentucky keep on shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
I said blue moon of Kentucky keep on shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
Well is was on one moonlit night
Stars shinin' bright
Whispered all night
Love said goodbye
I said blue moon of Kentucky keep on shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
Well is was on one lonely night
Stars shinin' bright
Whispered all night
Love said goodbye
I said blue moon of Kentucky
Keep on shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
