The 42nd Street Singers - Bright Texas Moon Lyrics

On a hot summer evening
A Lonestar cowboy played his tune
His lady sat beside him
She'll be proud to be his bride someday soon
The crowd would holler, yeah hoot and holler
Toss him a dollar or two
And he sang a country tune
Under a bright Texas moon

Under a bright Texas moon
He sang a song for his lady
Under a bright Texas moon
Texas moon

With the stars all around them
They sang to his guitar in harmony
Fireflies were flickerin'
And the crickets chirped their own melody
He had to hold her, and when he held her
Two hearts were beating in tune
Then he leaned in and kissed her softly
Under a bright Texas moon

Under a bright Texas moon
He sang a song for his lady
Under a bright Texas moon
Texas moon

And oh, how different they were
Young and improbable love
Thanks to the moon up above
The night was right for a cowboy's song of love

Below a big Texas sky
He sang of places they would one day be
Beyond the wide horizon
And across the blue sparklin' sea
The moon was shinin', and she was smilin'
Jasmine's smellin' like perfume
And the wildflowers danced in bloom
Under a bright Texas moon

Under a bright Texas moon
He sang a song for his lady
Under a bright Texas moon
Hot summer night in June
Under a bright Texas moon
Folks sang along, they were swayin'
Under a bright Texas moon
Texas moon
