Lyrics The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Jealous Moon

Saw her there in the fading light

In full bloom on a summer night

Nothing but the man in the moon

Was standing in my way

I was drunk on the warm sweet air

Tangled up in her raven hair

I should've known but I didn't care

She'd be gone by the light of day

'Cause her eyes were shining brighter

Than the light of the jealous moon

And the stars fell all around her

Well, did I see you smilin'

When the morning came too soon

Did I see you smilin'

Jealous moon, jealous moon

Now the sun dances across my room

I can smell the wine and her soft perfume

The only thing that lets me know

That an angel wasn't here

You know I had this crazy dream

She flew away on stolen wings

But all she took was a pair of jeans

When see saw that the coast was clear

And her eyes were shining brighter

Than the light of the jealous moon

And the stars fell all around her

Well, did I see you smilin'

When the morning came too soon

Did I see you smilin'

Jealous moon, jealous moon

And her eyes were shining brighter

Than the light of the jealous moon

And the stars they fell all around her

Well I thought I saw you smilin'

When the morning came too soon

Did I see you smilin'

Jealous moon, jealous moon

Jealous moon, jealous moon
