Transcription

when we strolled through the moonlight you said i love was no you in the old oak tree said who oh you said i was the someone you'd sing love songs too but the wise old owl as he winked as i though i never thought you'd say goodbye that old bird must have known that tonight he and i would be under the moon alone maybe i'll find a new love that's what i should do but the wise old owl in the old oak tree said i was happy on the night you told me that you cared then i heard a wise old bird who warned me to beware when we strolled through the moonlight you said i love you but the wise old owl in the old oak tree said you said i was the someone you'd sing long songs [Music] no i never thought you'd say goodbye that old bird must have known that tonight he and i would be under the moon alone maybe i'll find a new love that's what i should do but the wise old owl in the old oak tree said who i don't know whether you were smart or i was too naive but when you said we'd never part your heart was laughing up [Music] tonight he and i would be under the moon alone so i'll find a new love that's what i should do plus the wise old owl in the old oak tree gave a hall as he said to me [Music]
