Kate Smith - When the Moon Comes Over the Mountain (with lyrics)

*Click "Show more" below for lyrics* My all-time favorite song! Beautiful, calming, soothing. Recorded for Columbia on 8/17/31. Written by Howard E. Johnson - Harry M. Woods - and Kate Smith! This is Kate's theme song, and she would perform it countless times throughout her 50+ year career. Enjoy!

LYRICS:

(Spoken)
Hello, everybody!
This is Kate Smith.
(Sung)
All by myself at twilight
Watching the day depart
And with the fading twilight
Happiness fills my heart

When the moon comes over the mountain
Every beam brings a dream dear, of you
Once again we stroll 'neath the mountain
Through that rose-covered valley we knew
Each day is gray and dreary
But the night is bright and cheery
When the moon comes over the mountain
I'm alone with my memory
Of you

BREAK

Each day is gray and dreary
But the night is bright and cheery
When the moon comes over the mountain
I'm alone with my memory
Of you
