Moon Over Memphis

There’s a moon over Memphis tonight
A whip-poor-will cries in the blue starlight
It calls out your name cause my world it ain’t right
There’ a moon, there’s a moon, old lonesome moon
Heartbreak moon over Memphis tonight

And it’s dark where my heart used to be
A sad, empty place in my memory
I’m lookin’ for sunshine but it’s plain out of sight
There’s a moon, there’s a moon, old lonesome moon
Heartbreak moon over Memphis tonight

A melody drifts across Beale Street
A song that’s just breakin’ my heart
Like The King when he sings “Are You Lonesome Tonight”
Lord, I am since we been apart

There’s a moon over Memphis tonight
A will-o’-the-wisp burns bright firelight
I call out your name but that don’t make things right
There’s a moon, there’s a moon, old lonesome moon
Heartbreak moon over Memphis tonight
Heartbreak moon over Memphis tonight
There’s a moon over Memphis tonight
