Well, I must be crazy but I keep on dreamin'
And prayin' you might be comin' back soon
Keep on hopin' for all the good it does me
Lord, I might as well be talkin' to the moon

Well, I keep on thinkin' that maybe
Baby, you might be changin' your tune
Well, I keep on hopin' for all the good it does me
Lord, I might as well be talkin' to the moon

'Cause the moon don't seem to answer like it used to
Back years ago, we'd talk for hours at a time
And you don't seem to love me like you used to
That long ago, when you were mine, when you were mine

I keep on thinkin' that someday
Some way you might be changin' your tune
I keep on hopin' for all the good it does me
Lord, I might as well be talkin' to the moon
(Crazy, dreamin', prayin')

Well, I keep on hopin' for all the good it does me
Lord, I might as well be talkin' to the moon

Well, I might be crazy
(Well, I might be crazy)
Keep on dreamin'
(Keep on dreamin')
And prayin'
(Prayin')
You might be comin' back soon

But I keep on hopin'
(I keep on hopin')
For all the good it does me
Lord, I might as well be talkin' to the moon

Well, I keep on thinkin' that maybe
Baby, you might be changin' your tune
Well, I keep on hopin'
(I keep on hopin')
For all the good it does me
