Lyrics

By the light of the moon
When the night holds the secrets
Of the sleepy lagoon
I’m contemplating moonlight
On the water
When I’m walking with you
On an evening in June

On an evening in June
It can get so sentimental
When I’m thinking of you
And I can’t think of anything
Except being with you
When the summer is through
On an evening in June

On an evening in June
Well it lifts me up
When I’m talking to you
On an evening in June
When the flowers are in bloom
And the sky is so blue

Well there’s so many things
Taking place
That it’s hard to keep up with it all
Keep your eye on the ball
And to make the right call
When we’re longing for fall
On this evening in June

Instrumental break

On an evening in June
Well it lifts me up
When I’m talking to you
On an evening in June
When the flowers are in bloom
And the sky is so blue

Well there’s so many things taking place
That it’s hard to keep up with it all
Keep your eye on the ball
And to make the right call
When we’re longing for fall
On this evening in June
By the sleepy lagoon
On an evening in June
By the light of the moon
By the sleepy lagoon
On an evening in June
On an evening in June
By the sleepy lagoon
By the light of the moon
By the sleepy lagoon
On an evening in June
