Story Behind The Song
It seems that when the moon shines bad
things can and do happen, like your mouth getting out in front of you, then you can't take it back. I call it moon madness.
Song Description
Can't stand to see the moon shining
because it was shining when she left.

Lyrics
Mister Moon
chorus
Mister moon -- when you go rolling by
mister moon -- when I see you in the sky
I pull my window shade - you creep in just the same
How I hate to see that moon up in the sky
verse
When days turn to night - my feelings turn to fright
That's when I try to hide - from your blinding light
You were shining bright -- the night she took that flight
That's why I hate to see you-- in the sky
Chorus
Mister moon -- when you go rolling by
mister moon -- when I see you in the sky
I pull my window shade - you creep in just the same
How I hate to see that moon up in the sky
verse
Sweetheart can't you see - it really wasn't me
Moon madness was the blame - drove my mind insane
You were shining bright - the night she said goodbye
Yes I hate to see your face-- up in the sky
Chorus
Mister moon - when you go rolling by
mister moon - when I see you in the sky
I pull my window shade - you creep in just the same
How I hate to see that moon up in the sky
