Wanda Jackson - There's A New Moon Over My Shoulder Lyrics






There's a new moon over my shoulder and an old love still in my heart
I remember now that I'm older what you told me the day we had to part
You promised with the new moon you'd be coming back to me
Now many moons have passed since then I'm waiting patiently
There's a new moon over my shoulder and an old love still in my heart

So I'll keep on praying for your safe return someday
And that we'll be the same sweethearts as when you went away
There's a new moon over my shoulder and an old love still in my heart

    Wanda at her best!
    (This is of course a technicality, but although it sounds
    atmospheric and romantic to have a new moon over your
    shoulder, and some think the moon is
    shining over your shoulder
    from the position in
    which you are located, a "new moon" is the exact moment when all moonlight disappears
    after the moon has waned, and it begins
    it's new cycle of waxing gibbous until
    it becomes a full moon again. At the
    time I began writing
    this the moon was 66
    percent full. Bottom line is, if you are outdoors during a "new moon" you are
    not able to see it
    to know whether or not it is actually over your shoulder, or
    just where it
    is in the sky, although
    astronomers surely
    have a method of finding out. But symbolically to fit
    the purpose of the song, a new moon brings with it
    the beginning of a new cycle of light, and hopefully, the
    renewal of lost love and its brightening
    glory.

    LOL I thought this was about the song..but it's all about the moon to you! Love this old song and Wanda Jackson sure can sing it!

    Tex Ritter popularized this
    1944 country classic, but Wanda Jackson
    turned in my favorite performance.
    Song was written by Governor Jimmie Davis, Ekko Whelan, and
    Lee Blastic.

    Jim Reeves is good but Wanda is easy to follow and her way of singing so natural is the heart of cowboy and cowgirl. Thank you.
