Lyrics PALE VANILLA MOONCopyright: 2023 Bill Dake ASCAPLyrics and Music: Bill DakeA PALE VANILLA MOONPeekin' through the branchesSilver shadow dancesLights the pathThat leads to your front doorMakes my spirits soar PALE VANILLA MOON Crickets by the creekRubbin' wings togetherLovin' the warmer weatherSing a songThat says “I'm almost there”Soon I'll get to shareThis PALE VANILLA MOONOld shoes polishedNew shirt pressedWords well practicedHidden in my vestI'll check my pocketFor that precious stoneThat's hopin' to find a homeWe'll be sittin' on the porchHearts and minds combinin'Fingers intertwinin'Makin' plansThat only we can knowSoakin' up the glowOf this PALE VANILLA MOONSoft BreezeA starry veil Sweet kiss 'neath thisPALE VANILLA MOON
