When the moon was young, When the month was May, When the stage was hung for my holiday, I saw shining lights But I never knew: They were you. They were you. They were you. When the dance was done, When I went my way, When I tried to find rainbows far away, All the lovely lights Seemed to fade from view: They were you. They were you. They were you. Without you near me, I can't see. When you're near me, Wonderful things come to be. Every secret prayer, Every fancy free, Everything I dared for both you and me. All my wildest dreams Multiplied by two They were you. They were you. They were you.
