man on the moon

Please come with me tonight,
Sit with me in the clouds,
And watch as my darkness steals your light,
Let's forget the watching crowds

Yes, for now let's forget everyone,
And just watch the skies dance,
Oh beautiful Sun,
With each glance you put me in a trance

Forbidden love is heartbreaking,
For I can only sit and admire for a little while,
Before you leave my heart aching,
And I'm left only with the memory of your smile

I can only dream of your breathtaking light,
As you dance alone in the afternoon,
Some say staring to long at the sun makes you lose your sight,
If so I'll be fine being a blind Man on the Moon
