On page 93, there is a song called The Moon and I.
Yentl's deception cannot continue any longer.
At night, after putting Hadass to sleep,
Yentl sings a song that expresses her longing for Avigdor,
with the moon as her only witness.
The moon and I
We know each other well
I'm safe beneath its light
It passes by and sees but doesn't tell
The secrets of the night
Like the sweet forbidden feelings deep inside me
The longing for the lover who's denied me
To feel him beside me
The moon and I
Pretend he's in my arms
Each night it hears me cry
And when I sleep
I dream that soon
I'll tell my love
Some sunlit afternoon
What no one knows but the moon and I
And just as the sea, when it's tides, I'm tied to the moon, when it's full, so am I
The moon and I
Pretend he's in my arms
Each night it hears us cry
And when I sleep
I dream that soon
I'll tell my love
Some sunlit afternoon
What no one knows but the moon and I
