I think it starts something like this:

The nights has strange moonlight
It's so confusing

I cant remember any more. Does anyone know the song

Hi Isskapur,

please try to give a littlebit more information  - if possible!

- was the text written in English?
is it a song / a Lied/ a mélodie for solo voice and piano? Voice and orchestra? or voice and ( some kind of) ensemble?
Do you know for what kind of voice it was written for? soprano? Tenor? Alto?Bass?...
Do you know if it was an old or rather " new " work? Romantic? Classic?
Any idea about the writer of the text? Many poetical texts speak about the moon...

Try, for instance, Rusalka's Song to the moon (by A. Dvorak)

Mesiku na nebi hlubokem         O moon high up in the deep, deep sky,
Svetlo tvé daleko vidi,         Your light sees far away regions,
Po svete bloudis sirokém,      You travel round the wide,
Divas se v pribytky lidi.      Wide world peering into human dwellings

Mesicku, postuj chvili         O, moon, stand still for a moment,
reckni mi, kde je muj mily      Tell me, ah, tell me where is my lover!
Rekni mu, stribmy mesicku,      Tell him. please, silvery moon in the sky,
me ze jej objima rame,         That I am hugging him firmly,
aby si alespon chvilicku      That he should for at least a while
vzpomenul ve sneni na mne.      Remember his dreams!
Zasvet mu do daleka,         Light up his far away place,
rekni mu, rekni m kdo tu nan ceka!   Tell him, ah, tell him who is here waiting!
O mneli duse lidska sni,      If he is dreaming about me,
at'se tou vzpominkou  vzbudi!      May this remembrance waken him!
Mesicku, nezhasni, nezhasni!      O, moon, don't disappear, disappear!

Good luck!
