Stanley Brothers - That Happy Night lyrics

rate me

Many years now have passed since I saw my darling last

But she waits alone there just for me

I'll be going back some day and I never more will stray

From that girl who stood by me

I've about forgot the tune and the West Virginia moon

But the North Carolina moon is just as bright

I'll n'er forget the time you promised to be mine

The moon was shining down that happy night

When I left her all alone in our little mountain home

I never thought of the day I'd return

Now I'm coming back to you love I know you've been true

What a price I've paid to live and learn
