And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see . . . . . "

Billie Holiday & Her Orchestra
• Moonlight In Vermont (Verve Records 1957)


"Moonlight in Vermont" is a popular song about the U.S. state of Vermont, written by John Blackburn and Karl Suessdorf and published in 1943. The lyrics are unusual in that they do not rhyme. John Blackburn, the lyricist, has been quoted as saying, "After completing the first 12 bars of the lyric, I realized there was no rhyme and then said to Karl, 'Let's follow the pattern of no rhyme throughout the song. It seemed right.'" The lyrics are also metrically interesting in that each verse (not counting the bridge) is a haiku. The song is considered an unofficial state song of Vermont and is frequently played as the first dance song at Vermont wedding receptions. There are few, if any, sycamore trees in Vermont and no meadowlarks. Blackburn, from Ohio, who wrote the lyrics, may have imposed his own interpretation of what he saw during his trip to Vermont which inspired the song.

Billie's accompanied by Harry Edison (trumpet), Ben Webster (tenor saxophone), Jimmy Rowles (piano), Barney Kessel (guitar), Red Mitchell (bass), and Alvin Stoller (drums).
Recorded in Los Angeles, January 3, 1957. (Verve Records)

-Pennies in a stream Falling leaves a sycamore Moonlight in Vermont
-Icy fingers wave Ski trails on a mountain side Snow light in Vermont
-Telegraph cables, they sing down the highway And travel each bend in the road People meet, in this romantic setting Are so hypnotized by the lovely
-Evening summer breeze Warblings of the meadowlark Moonlight in Vermont
-Telegraph cables, they sing down the highway And travel each bend in the road People who meet, in this romantic setting Are so hypnotized by the lovely
-Evening summer breeze Warbling of a meadowlark Moonlight in Vermont You and I and Moonlight in Vermont

Billie Holiday - It's Like Reaching For The Moon


It's like reaching for the moon It's like reaching for the sun It's like reaching for the stars Reaching for you You're so far above me How can I expect than an angel to It's so refined as you are It's like flying without wings Playing fiddle without strings And a million other things No one can do No, my hopes are slender In my secret heart I pray you'll surrender soon No, it's like reaching for the moon

Billie Holiday - The Moon Looks Down And Laughs


The moon looks down and laughs And says, "I told you so" Why did I let you go away I was so sure you loved me madly And when I wanted you You'd gladly come back to me I never realised the day we said goodbye How very sorry I would be And every night when I walk Up and down this lonesome town The moon looks down and laughs at me
