Once was a time I thought

Love could be sold or bought

Everything fell in place for me

The fashion of passion I rationed with caution

Because of the notion the potion of passion

Had never been passed to me



But since it was Sunday and sunny I went for a stroll

The peanuts and pigeons and people put me in a hole

A blessing refreshing in you did unfold

Dispelling depressing distressing thoughts from my soul





Once was a time I thought

Love could be sold or bought

Everything fell in place for me

The fashion of passion I rationed with caution

Because of the notion the potion of passion

Had never been passed to me





Can't you see

No moon at all

What a night

Even lightning bugs have dimmed their light

Stars have disappeared from sight

And there's no moon at all





Don't make a sound

It's so dark

Even Fido is afraid to bark

What a perfect chance to park

And there's no moon at all





If you need atmosphere

For inspiration dear

One touch will make it clear

Tonight is right and bright moonlight might interfere





No moon at all

Up above

This is nothing like they told us of

Just to think we fell in love

When there's no moon at all





But since it was Sunday and sunny I went for a stroll

The peanuts and pigeons and people put me in a hole

A blessing refreshing in you did unfold

Dispelling depressing distressing thoughts from my soul





Once was a time I thought

Love could be sold or bought

Everything fell in place for me

The fashion the passion I rationed with caution

Because of the notion the potion of passion

Had never been passed to me





But now with you by my side

I find that I'm so satisfied

Somebody must have lied to me
