you're looking at the moon tonight
gazing in awe of its beauty,
its brightness and glory
in the midst of the cloudy night sky
in the midst of the darkness above
you looked at it very intently
for you'll never see it in that way
for years and for several decades
you're looking at the moon tonight
in the same way i looked at you everyday

you're looking at the moon tonight
gazing in awe of its beauty,
its brightness and glory
in the midst of the cloudy night sky
in the midst of the darkness above
you looked at it very intently
for you'll never see it in that way
for years and for several decades
you're looking at the moon tonight
in the same way i looked at you everyday
For the moon disappears when the day comes.
And I know that you too will disappear someday.
