Lyrics:

Dark moon, way up high up in the sky Oh, tell me why, oh tell me why You've lost your splendor Dark moon, what is the cause your life withdraws Is it because, is it because I've lost my love Mortals have dreams of love's perfect schemes But they don't realize, their love can sometimes bring the Dark moon, way up high up in the sky Oh, tell me why, oh tell me why You've lost your splendor Dark moon, what is the cause your life withdraws Is it because, is it because I've lost my love Mortals have dreams of love's perfect schemes But they don't realize, their love can sometimes bring the Dark moon, way up high up in the sky Oh, tell me why, oh tell me why You've lost your splendor Dark moon, what is the cause your life withdraws Is it because, is it because I've lost my love Mortals have dreams of love's perfect schemes But they don't realize, their love can sometimes bring the Dark moon, way up high up in the sky Oh, tell me why, oh tell me why You've lost your splendor Dark moon, what is the cause your life withdraws Is it because, is it because I've lost my love What is the cause your light withdraws Is it because, is it because I've lost my love Dark moon, way up high up in the sky Oh, tell me why, oh tell me why You've lost your splendor Dark moon, what is the cause your life withdraws Is it because, is it because I've lost my love Mortals have dreams of love's perfect schemes But they don't realize, their love can sometimes bring the Dark moon, way up high up in the sky Oh, tell me why, oh tell me why You've lost your splendor Dark moon, what is the cause your life withdraws Is it because, is it because I've lost my love Mortals have dreams of love's perfect schemes But they don't realize, their love can sometimes bring the Dark moon, way up high up in the sky Oh, tell me why, oh tell me why You've lost your splendor Dark moon, what is the cause your life withdraws Is it because, is it because I've lost my love Mortals have dreams of love's perfect schemes But they don't realize, their love can sometimes bring the Dark moon, way up high up in the sky Oh, tell me why, oh tell me why You've lost your splendor Dark moon, what is the cause your life withdraws Is it because, is it because I've lost my love What is the cause your light withdraws Is it because, is it because I've lost my love

Ned Miller wrote Dark Moon in 1957. Several recordings of the song were released that year, but it appears that Bonnie Guitar (Dot 15550) had the original version in April. Her recording, which was pressed by Fabor Records (Fabor 1018) and then leased to Dot, reached #6 on Billboard's Top 100 chart. Close on her heels was Gale Storm's cover version (Dot 15558) which did even better, peaking at #4. Hawkshaw Hawkins had a country release of Dark Moon (RCA 6910) in June 1957 that did not chart. Elvis recorded Dark Moon at Graceland in the 1960s with his own guitar accompaniment. It surfaced on the A Golden Celebration LP in 1984.
