I See the Moon and the Moon Sees Me
I See the Moon and the Moon Sees Me
Lullaby
I see the moon and the moon sees me,
The moon sees somebody I wanna see
God bless the moon and God bless me:
And God bless that somebody I wanna see.
Notes
The Following is from "What They Say in New England: A Book of Signs, Sayings, and Superstitions" (1896) by Clifton Johnson:
"Look at the moon some night and say, -
'I see the moon, the moon sees me;
The moon sees somebody I want to see.'
Then name the person you wish to see, and in a day or two you will see that person."

Here's part of a version attributed to Meredith Willson (1953). It's often sung as a lullaby:
I see the moon; the moon sees me
Under the shade of the old oak tree.
Please let the light that shines on me
Shine on the one I love.
Over the mountains, over the sea,
Back where my heart is longing to be,
Please let the light that shines on me
Shine on the one I love.
Thanks!
