Shining bright, I see the light.
The moon is high in the sky tonight.
Clouds abound, they are all around,
The wind is silent no noise is found!
As I look up and the moon looks down
Our faces meet in space with smiles not frowns.
My smile is reflected by the silent clouds,
I think to myself, why must this moment die?
The moon's light will fade with the rising
Sun and I will fall asleep before the night is done.
We both orbit around our star, its light is
Reflected and we are seen from afar!
I am star stuff, so is the moon. We travel
Through space, but our night ends to soon. Man is counted
One by one. The moon is alone beneath the sun.
