Big Lady Moon
 (Sung text for setting by S. Coleridge-Taylor)
 Matches base text
Language: English 
I can see you up on high, 
Big Lady Moon!
Sweetly shining in the sky, 
Big Lady Moon!
Is it 'cos you’re glad I'm here?
Like to feel that I am near?
That you shine so bright and clear?
Big Lady Moon, Big Lady Moon!

Hark! I hear my nursie calling,
Big Lady Moon!
For she says the dew is falling,
Big Lady Moon!
So you see I'll have to go,
I hope you won’t be lonely though,
'Cos I love you ever so,
Big Lady Moon, Big Lady Moon!

    Set to music by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor (1875 - 1912), "Big Lady Moon", published 1909 [ voice and piano ], from Five Fairy Ballads, no. 3, London: Boosey & Co.
