The Moon rides down the fairways
Of the sky,
To catch Manhattan in a festive
mood.
And Broadway wears a twinkle in
her eye,
To watch another Summer In
terlude,
The gals and guys that throng the
magic street,
Are wearing dreams And
many dream will fade,
But time is short and life is
strangely sweet.
And June is ripe for one more
masquerade;
And so the pulse of living beats
away
And so the story wanders to a
close,
And time will bring the sordid glare
of day
And dreams will find their beauty
but pose;
And so the Moon goes down on
Broadway'S clan
AS June unfolds its ancient caravan.
