Lyrics
(Verse 1)
I knew when I met him something special had begun
I was used to asking for a table just for one
Then the band began to play this soothing melody
As we danced together I could feel our harmony
I can?t forget his smile as he handed me a Coors
The neon crescent above the bar, the swinging wooden doors
(Chorus)
Every time I think of him
I still recall the tune
That played on the night we met
In the Half Moon Saloon
(Verse 2)
Time flew by when I heard the news, he promised he?d come back
His unit had been called up, he was leaving for Iraq
Months passed while I longed for his letters to arrive
I?d hum our special song and thank God he was alive
I can?t forget his smile as he handed me a Coors
The neon crescent above the bar, the swinging wooden doors
(Chorus)
Every time I think of him
I still recall the tune
That played on the night we met
In the Half Moon Saloon
(Bridge)
One year after he had gone the call came to my phone
He told me excitedly that he was coming home
I waited at our favorite place on that warm night in June
Then he walked through the swinging doors of the Half Moon Saloon
(Chorus ? sung softly)
Just when I saw him
I heard that familiar tune
That played on the night we met
(Chorus)
Every time I think of him
I still recall the tune
That played on the night we met
In the Half Moon Saloon
In the Half Moon Saloon
In the Half Moon Saloon
