Lyrics | When the Moon is Shining Somewhere in France Verse: No matter where you chance to be, in America or France you’ll see, The same old moon shines ev’rywhere, but France is far away from here, And before we see the stars appear, the moon is shining “over there,” So when each soldier boy goes away, to his mother and sweetheart he’d say: Refrain: When the moon is shining somewhere in France, I’ll send a wireless to you. I will say: “I’m OK, and I’m thinking of you, too.” Then when the moon goes sailing over the sea, it will carry my message through, And ev’ry time you see the man in the moon, he’ll bring my love and kisses back to you. Verse: No matter where the boys may be, while they’re fighting for our liberty, Dear recollections come to mind, they think of each familiar place, And remember ev’ry loving face, of those they had to leave behind, But at night with the moon overhead, each one thinks of the day when he said: Refrain |
