Please allow me to adjust my pants
So that I may dance the good-time dance
And put the onlookers and innocent bystanders into a trance...
Where, oh where have you been, my love?
Where, oh where can you be?
It's been so long since the moon was gone,
And oh, what a wreck you made me.
Are you there, over the ocean?
Are you there, up in the sky?
Until the return of my love, this lullaby.
My hope is on the horizon,
Every face, your eyes I can see.
I plead and pray, though each night and day,
Our embrace is only a dream.
And sure as days come from moments,
Each hour becomes a life's time.
When I left, I'd only begun this lullaby.
