Strawberry moon
Why oh why
Do you bring memories that make me cry?
Why do you follow
Haunting me still?
I said I'll never marry & I never will
She was a beauty in a white cotton dress
My kiss was a question, Her answer was "Yes"
We made love forbidden that long ago June
Beneath the light of a strawberry moon
Strawberry moon
Why oh why
Do you bring memories that make me cry?
Why do you follow
Haunting me still?
I said I'll never marry & I never will
Side by side in the moonlight we lay
Unprepared for the cruel light of day
Dreaming our dreams until the sunrise
Blind as the moon in our eyes
Strawberry moon
Why oh why
Do you bring memories that make me cry?
Why do you follow
Haunting me still?
I said I'll never marry & I never will
Her father sent her on the Northern rail line
Westward to marry, Never to be mine
I swore on the day she took a man's ring
Single I would remain
Strawberry moon
Why oh why
Do you bring memories that make me cry?
Why do you follow
Haunting me still?
I said I'll never marry & I never will
