Crying for the Moon Man

Lyrics to Song for Soprano and Alto, with Piano Accompaniment, by Eve Adam

'Tho that moon is beautiful It really isn't what it seems to be. That old moon is hot and cold; He's a two-sided moon. Once there was a tiny girl Sitting upon her father's knee. She made up her mind she had to have The prettiest thing she could see. It was that great big moon. Moon so hot; moon so cold! Crying for the moon, she was. Moon so hot; moon so cold! Crying for the moon. That old moon is hot and cold. He's a two-sided moon. Now that little girl I told you about Might just as well be me, Because I have been, without any doubt, As silly a girlie as she. I cried for a man like a moon. Moon so hot; moon so cold! Crying for the moon man. Moon so hot; moon so cold! Crying for the moon. That old moon is hot and cold, He's a two-sided moon. The cause of my joy and torment too Has been a bachelor boy And he is no more the marrying kind Than the moon is a little girl's toy. His love is a two-sided kind. You either burn or freeze. Moon so hot; moon so cold! Crying for the moon man. Moon so hot; moon so cold! Crying for the Moon. That old moon is hot and cold And a two-sided moon Would never be suitable For one girl alone. ~~~EVE ADAM (Phyllis Eve Weiler) 1961~~~
