One Night Soon
One Silvery Moon
I’ll make your mother swoon
Then, Darling, come June,
You and I
Shall sail the sunny skies.
I never lied, I said you’d never hear me say, Goodbye.

One fine night.
The moon’ll shine bright.
Your mom will see the light.
And then it will be
You and me
And the Andaman Sea
I couldn’t ask for more than you, me, sun and sand, sea breeze and sky.

On stormy nights, when gray clouds hover,
And the monster’s jaws threaten to eat you alive.
Honey, with flashlights drawn under the covers
I promise I’ll spin you yarns ’til the Sandman arrives.

One night before long…
My Darling, be strong!
I promise your mom
Is gonna see she’s wrong.
She’ll change her tune,
And one fine afternoon
You and I will bear down on Port Blair in a hot air balloon.
Oo, one night soon
