Black Moonlight Lyrics - Perry Como

Lost in the shuffle, I've drifted and strayed 

Bruised by the city, bewildered, betrayed 

With a heart heavy laden with faltering strides 

I have come to the bridge, to the line that divides 

What am I doing up here in a daze 

As I gaze at the cold river bed 

Why do I ask myself, shall I go back 

When I seem to be going ahead 

To black moonlight 

Where everything reflects your color 

Darkness that is endless 

Nights that leave me friendless, blue 

Black moonlight 

You make the lights of Harlem duller 

Just like me you're faded, jaded and degraded, too 

Why must you send 

Ebony moonbeams, depressing, distressing 

Like shadows of love that are gone 

Where will it end 

Will it spread on to the starlight, the sunlight 

And darken each promise of dawn 

Black moonlight 

I've lost all power to resist you 

Madly, I await you, even though I hate you 

Black, black moonlight
