New Moon Over Jamaica
[Chorus]
There's a new moon over Jamaica
And the new year just got here, you see
There's a new moon over Jamaica
And I'm living with an old memory

[Verse 1]
So won't you come back to Jamaica?
You know it isn't so far
Look up in the sky where you left me that night
I'll be standing right under that star

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
I said good evening to Venus
She said good evening too
Out there somewhere, you know I could swear
She sent a message of true love from you

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
A new moon makes someone feel happy
A new moon makes someone love-sick
I'm thinking of you, but what can I do?
New moons and new years and old loves don't mix
[Chorus]
