Van Dyke Parks



This is so far from China

The star light like to blind ya

A lover's way of saying come home soon

Put it in a letter

Let each star there remind ya

It's time for love to find ya

A palm tree in the moon



When a comet comes out to fall

Why on earth do we feel so small

Must be heaven that we hear call

And in this natural planet

I feel like catching your hand

Out under our palm tree and moon



I put it in a letter

How could I love you better

And dropped it in a bottle in the sea

Put it in a letter

I don't know where it went so

I sent to Sacramento

Said you were meant for me



What a time to be talking small

But a crime not to talk at all

When it's heaven that we hear call

There ain't a cloud in the sky

No allowin' for why

Out under our palm tree and moon



hoo do you

Hoo do you

Put it in a letter

Put it in a letter

You were meant for me



What a time to be talking small

But a crime not to talk at all

When it's heaven that we hear call

And for us two silhouettes

It's just as good as it gets

Out under our palm tree and moon
