Words by Victoria Williams



Willows were swaying

The Water was rippling

The froggies were singing

Along with the lapping at the bank

We have the moon to thank

For this lovely scene

We might never have seen

If it hadn't of been for the moon

Chorus:

Why look at that moon

Oh way up high

Seeing everything

Ah yes that goes by

Why look at that moon

Why why why

Look at the moon

Why why why

Look at the moon

Oh sittin' in the desert

Beneath the lonesome sky

Ooh my oh my it would be

Of if there'd never been above

That fateful (faithful?) little orb

That one that has beheld true love through history

Why must it start

Why must lovers part

Why does the cheating go on

Why have hearts turned to stone

(Repeat Chorus)

Why look at that moon

Ain't it grand

Why look at that moon

Helps me understand

Why look at that moon

Inspirator of many a tune

Why look at that moon
