Tell my why the stars do shine,
Tell me why the ivy twine,
Tell me why the sky's so blue,
And I will tell you why I love you.
Because God made the stars to shine,
Because God made the ivy twine,
Because God made the sky so blue,
That is the reason why I love you.
Oh Mister Moon, moon, bright and silvery moon,
Won't you please shine down on me, on me,
Oh Mister Moon, moon, bright and silvery moon,
Hiding behind that tree.
I want to shoot that possum with my big shotgun,
Shoot that possum for he starts to run,
Oh Mister Moon, moon bright and silvery moon,
Won't you please shine down on, please shine down on,
please shine dooowwn on me--shine down on meeeeeeee!

Dear Sandy, Thank Yu so much!!!!
May 5Th. this year my dear mother Anita will be gone 17 Years and I still miss her so when we were little and camping at Hickory Run State Park ion Pa. she would sing the 7 of us to sleep with "Tell Me Why" and The first and last verse of "Down in the Vally" this is the first time I've heard this song sung in so manny years it put a lump in my troat and a tear in my eye.... THANK YOU SO MUCH for bringing back the memories!!!! Mark Faryna you may check out my face book account.
sorry I'm a bad typer, before computers I had stock in white-out
I just love this song-my Mom used to sing it to me (us kids) when we were young on hot summer nights sitting out on our front porch steps...what wonderful memories...and yes she is still alive. God is Good!
Thank you so much for your comments, Mark and Lisa. Glad this brought back good memories. I just love remembering songs from my childhood. I have tried to sing them over and over to keep them fresh so that I don't forget the words :-) I am 65 years old so that is a lot of years of remembering.
