I See the Moon and The Moon Sees Me Rhyme


I See the Moon and the Moon Sees Me Lullaby Lyrics

This version is derived from one recorded by Clifton Johnson in “What They Say in New England: A Book of Signs, Sayings, and Superstitions” from 1896. It goes like this:

 

I see the moon and the moon sees me,

The moon sees somebody I wanna see

God bless the moon and God bless me:

And God bless that somebody I wanna see.

 

“I See the Moon and the Moon Sees Me” Version 2

Printed by Joyce in “Old Irish Folk Music and Songs” 1909

I see the moon, the moon sees me,

God bless the moon and God bless me:

There’s grace in the cottage and grace in the hall;

And the grace of God is over us all.

 

“I See the Moon” song

by Meredith Willson

 

Chorus

Over the mountain, over the sea,

Back where my heart is longing to be,

Please let the light that shines on me

Shine on the one I love.

I see the moon; the moon sees me

Down through the leaves of the old oak tree.

Please let the light that shines on me

Shine on the one I love.

I hear the lark; the lark hears me,

Singing a song with a melody.

Please let the lark that sings for me

Sing for the one I love.

I kiss a rose; the rose kisses me,

Fragrant as only a rose can be.

Please let the Rose that comforts me

Comfort the one I love.
