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

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

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

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
