I stayed up late
and watched the moon on the river
I sat on the bed
I hoped you would't leave
I looked out the window
at the cars on the street
what had I said....
I saw the Memphis Moonlight sky
I wiped another tear from my eye
as another day drifts by
I'm thinking of you
in the Memphis Moonlight
I wake up tired
and watched the rain gently falling
I laid on the bed
I hoped you would return
your face at the front door
was a dream come true
I saw the Memphis Moonlight sky
I watched another plane flying high
as another day drifts by
thinking of you
in the Memphis Moonlight

She sits with me
the neon in her eyes
the sun will never rise
until the misty morning
it's all turned out
as day turns to night

I stayed up late
and watched the moon on the river
I sat on the bed
I hoped you would't leave
I looked out the window
at the cars on the street
what had I said....
I saw the Memphis Moonlight sky
I wiped another tear from my eye
as another day drifts by
I'm thinking of you
in the Memphis Moonlight
