Moonglow on A Dreamy Spring Evening

Ohhh, yes!
It was another one of those dreamy spring evenings last night.
And that moonglow lit a dark blue sky through the trees as buds shimmered against the heavens.
The sky. The trees. The moon. That feeling. That glow.
I could almost hear the song:

It must have been moonglow, way up in the blue
It must have been moonglow that led me straight to you
I still hear you sayin', "Dear one, hold me fast"
And I keep on prayin', "Oh Lord, please let this last"

We seemed to float right through the air
Heavenly songs seemed to come from everywhere

And now when there's moonglow, way up in the blue
I'll always remember, that moonglow gave me you

It must have been moonglow, way up in the blue
It must have been moonglow that led me straight to you
I still hear you sayin', "Sweet child, hold me fast"
And I keep on prayin', "Oh Lord, please let this last"
