Lonely Moon

I am lonely like the moon
You are away as the earth
Now you say I light your thoughts
Night after night
Soon you 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
Kiss in the sun when the 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
Till at last love returns
With the night
And the lonely moon

(Solo)

I am lonely like the moon
Always wanting you to be near
I embrace you till 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
Kiss in the sun when the 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
Till at last love returns
With the night
And the lonely moon

I love the warm emotion you bring
Though there is pain, I don't complain
How you can inspire me
Whenever we're together
Ev'ry 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 your light
Like the lonely moon
