Lyrics for If the Moon Turns Green
Just when I thought that fate was unkind That happiness wasn't to be I got a shock and I changed my mind A miracle happened to me If the moon turns green and shadows get up and walk around And clouds come tumbling to the ground I wouldn't be surprised 'Cause didn't you fall in love with me? If the stars turn blue and willows that weep begin to sing And winter changes into spring I wouldn't raise my eyes 'Cause didn't you fall in love with me? I thought I was foolish to think of romance With someone so charming as you Thought I was hoping without any chance But every hope came true If the moon turns green and rivers begin to flow upstream And this is all a crazy dream I wouldn't be surprised 'Cause anything can happen if you can fall in love Anything can happen if you can fall in love with me
