New Moon Over My Shoulder (Jimmie Davis/Lee Blastie/Ekko Whelan) There's a new moon over my shoulder And an old love 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 But many moons have passed, and I'm waiting patiently There's a new moon over my shoulder And an old love in my heart Instrumental Repeat verses 1 and 2.
