Lyrics

Drifting away to dreamland, Amid the sparkling sand;
And the moon above Whispered words of love,
Guiding us down lover's strand. Desert

CHORUS:
Moon, Desert Moon, Keep on shining while we croon
As your silv'ry stary [sic] light Glitters softly thro' the night;
To brighten our pathway of gold,
Desert moon, Desert moon, Just a lover's light in June;
When we've grown old and grey, And love's shadows fade away,
We'll dream of you, my Desert Moon.

In memories we see you, For in our hearts you grew
And our joy for years, Now is passed in tears,
Come back and let love renew. Desert
