I've heard all about the tune that's called the Alabama Moon
But the Mississppi moon is just as bright
And I can't forget the time when I asked you to be mine
While the moon was shining on that happy night
And you promised me then that you'd wed me in June
That's why I love the Mississippi moon
Oh the Mississippi moon is smiling down tonight
And love just seems to fill the air
How our hearts would be so light while we wander there tonight
Underneath the Mississippi moon
Many years have come and gone since I met you there alone
But tonight I'm thinking just as much of you
As I did when hand in hand we wandered in that magic land
Where we gave vows to love each other true
Come and go back with me to that fonding memory
Just to see again that the Mississippi moon
Oh the Mississippi moon is smiling down tonight
And love just seems to fill the air
How our hearts would be so light while we wander there tonight
Underneath the Mississippi moon
