PALE VANILLA MOON
Copyright: 2023 Bill Dake ASCAP
Lyrics and Music: Bill Dake
A PALE VANILLA MOON
Peekin' through the branches
Silver shadow dances
Lights the path
That leads to your front door
Makes my spirits soar
PALE VANILLA MOON
Crickets by the creek
Rubbin' wings together
Lovin' the warmer weather
Sing a song
That says "I'm almost there"
Soon I'll get to share
This PALE VANILLA MOON
Old shoes polished
New shirt pressed
Words well practiced
Hidden in my vest
I'll check my pocket
For that precious stone
That's hopin' to find a home
We'll be sittin' on the porch
Hearts and minds combinin'
Fingers intertwinin'
Makin' plans
That only we can know
Soakin' up the glow
Of this PALE VANILLA MOON
Soft Breeze
A starry veil
Sweet kiss 'neath this
PALE VANILLA MOON
