By The Light of the Silvery Moon or By the Light of the Silv'ry Moon is a popular song. The music was written by Gus Edwards, and the lyrics by Edward Madden. The song was published in 1909 and first performed on stage by Lillian Lorraine.
_____ As originally written, the song, Somewhere Over the Rainbow, had a prelude: When all the world is a hopeless jumble And the raindrops tumble all around, Heaven opens a magic lane When all the clouds darken up the skyway, There's a rainbow highway to be found Leading from your window pane To a place behind the sun, Just a step beyond the rain The prelude makes the song even more poignant.
