I remember that lonesome night
When stars all were shining bright
I was alone, alone until
Until I saw that moon coming over the hill
Now how could I ever have the right
To see alone such a beautiful sight
You know that night falls dark and still
Except for that moon coming over the hill
Now it looks so close up next to the clouds
Well, you know it's up there, just checking me out
It just rises higher on into the night
And it lets me know everything's alright
So don't you worry about where I been
I'm just checkin' on one of my old friends
You know every night I get my fill
When I see the moon coming over the hill
I say, every night I get my fill
Seeing you and the moon coming over the hill
