She beckoned from her room
Silhouetted on the moon
She let the ladder down
And I climbed each rusty rung
The window getting bigger up above
I closed one eye and fired
But I missed it by a mile
Closed one eye and fired
But I missed it by a mile
Her gorgeous face and gown
I opened my dumb mouth
Her smile became a frown
And she shoved me right back out
I landed in the garden down below
I closed one eye and fired
But I missed it by a mile
Closed one eye and fired
But I missed it by a mile
I missed it by a mile
Missed it by a mile
Missed it by a mile
Feeling very foolish in a bed of tulips
Til the gardener offered me a hand
And when I saw her eyes gazing into mine
All I could do was smile
I closed one eye and smiled cause I missed it by a mile
Closed one eye - ain't it wild that I missed it by a mile?
Closed on eye and fired but I missed it by a mile
Closed one eye and I missed it by a mile
Missed it by a mile
Missed it by a mile
Missed it by a mile
Missed it by a mile
