Lonely Moon

I am lonely like the Moon
You are far away as the Earth
Though you say I light your thoughts night after night
Soon we forget

We are drifting in this dance
I can feel you circle my heart
Keeping such a graceful distance
So close but somehow apart

Sometimes I cry for you
Knowing you don't want me to
Sometimes I whisper to the stars up in the sky

That I want to find the way to your soul
Kissing the sun when morning comes
You don't seem to count the hours
When we are not together

I've seen a tender fire in your eyes
Yet when I'm gone, you carry on
I float in this emptiness
'Til at last love returns
With the night
And the lonely Moon

I am lonely like the Moon
Always wanting you to be near
I embrace you 'til the dawn
Then with a smile you disappear

We continue in our dance
There are times I think it should end
But I lose myself in rapture
And we start all over again

Sometimes I cry for you
Knowing you don't want me to
Sometimes I whisper to the stars up in the sky

That I want to find the way to your soul
Kissing the sun when morning comes
You don't seem to count the hours
When we are not together

I've seen a tender fire in your eyes
Yet when I'm gone you carry on
I float in this emptiness
'Til at last love returns
With the night

I love the warm emotion you bring
Though there is pain I don't complain
How you can inspire me
Whenever we're together

Every time it's like a new song
You move me so, I think you know
I won't even say a word
In your arms or far from sight
I'll be a light
Like the lonely Moon
