Why am I so jealous of the moon
Jealous of a summer night in June
Why can they remain beside
My darling
while I must leave so soon
Summer night
Starry skies
You can see my sweet heart
with a thousand eyes
Why have I only two to behold
a thousand charms and idolize
Summer night
You've a right
To come in her window
when the day is through
She tells you all her thought
in the fading candle light
Summer night
Oh how I envy you
Summer night
You've a right
Summer night
Oh how I envy you
Starry skies
Summer night
Summer night
Starry skies
You can see my sweet heart
with a thousand eyes
Why have I only two to behold
a thousand charms and idolize
Summer night
You've a right
To come in her window
when the day is through
She tells you all her thought
in the fading candle light
Summer night
Oh how I envy you
