C
The moon ain't yellow and the moon ain't blue

Verse 2

It ain't made of cheese

And it don't have a thing to do  with me and you

Verse 3

Your mind ain't straight and your heart can't break

Verse 4

Tears don't roll and lips don't taste
     F                           C
Like cherry wine sugar and honey dew

Verse 5

                                G7
But honey when you tell me that you love me true
                 F
I believe in you and o-o-o

Your love makes everything come true

      Am                Em
Cause love makes a blue moon turn gold
F                                    C
Makes a heart break and makes a tear roll
         Am          Em        F
When God made love I betcha he knew

That he was on to something so he made you

Midnight really ain't the middle of the night
                                               F
It's either to the left or a little bit to the right
             C
It's ever so slight

Verse 8

The sun don't move and it can't go down

Verse 9

In Heaven all day the sun don't roll around

I believe in you and o-o-o
                                C
Your love makes everything come true

Verse 11

     Am                        Em
Love makes the sun come up and go down
