She was standing at the seashore in a mystic summer night
And the silver moon made diamonds out of all the tears she cried.
Though her eyes were filled with sorrow she looked so divine
So kind of beautiful just like a moonlight angel
So I asked why she was crying she slowly turned her face
She whispered softly to me love can hurt a thousand ways
And for one enchanted moment I was standing helplessly
Your kisses really put a spell on me


Oh moonlight angel why did you fly away
Tell me what's your heaven earning
Tell me is your heart still yearning
For a tender love you left behind
Oh moonlight angel how could I make you stay
If you're tired and lonesome I will hold you tight
Cause another heaven is hard to find


And she whispered I must leave now wait for me I'll be back soon
On her face I saw dark shadows cause a black cloud hid the moon
And I tried to say I love you please don't go away
But all the time I knew you can't catch moonlight angels
And I saw her disappearing in the darkness of the night
All I felt was sorrow and a burning pain inside
When I tried to walk behind her just to find the Promised Land
There were no footsteps, footsteps in the sand


Oh moonlight angel why did you fly away
Tell me what's your heaven earning
Tell me is your heart still yearning
For a tender love you left behind
Oh moonlight angel gone at the break of day
Tell me is your heart still yearning
Deep inside for a never love you left behind
If you're tired and lonesome I will hold you tight
Cause another heaven is hard to find
