This is a love song – there’s a blinding flash of the obvious! However, it is a predictive love song. The object of my affection was a fantasy at the time of writing, like a moonbeam, hard to picture and impossible to touch. It is written to her that was out there somewhere.
lyrics
Melanie Moonbeam, now that it all seems
How did you know it was going to be you
Melanie Moonbeam, lost in your own dream
How did you know it was going to be you
Melanie Moonbeam, satin and sweet cream
How did you know it was going to be you
Melanie Moonbeam, where has your love been
And how did you know it was going to be you
And in the morning sun I’ll be waiting
To lay you down on dreams I’ve been making
Roll away ‘cos I may want to play in the love you bring to me
Take me in, we begin, will you win with the song you sing to me
Melanie Moonbeam, satin and sweet cream
How did you know it was going to be you
Melanie Moonbeam, where has your love been
And how did you know it was going to be you
