A song about a man in love with a girl but who has no one to talk with about it, so on a dark and lonesome, he decides to talk to the only one who's there to listen: the moon.
lyrics
I've been looking at the man in the moon
And I've been wondering if he comes out during noon
I've been thinking about the girl on my mind
And I noticed that she's one of a kind
Oh, mister Moon,
won't you walk me through this
'Cause the skies are looking clear
And you're the only one that's here tonight
And I don't know what to say to her
But I want to run away with her
And there's no one here to help me out
You're the only one who's with me now
And so, mister Moon,
I'm trusting you
I've been thinking about the meaning of life
And what it takes for her to want to be my wife
And I've been wondering how the moon could shine so bright
When it never even shines by its own light
I don't know if I will ever be her man
But I would love it if you'd help me while you can
