Perry Como - Black Moonlight

Lost in the shuffle
I've drifted an' 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
Lost in the shuffle
I've drifted an' 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
