Tell me that the sun loved the moon so much,
That he died every night just to let her breath.

Tell me that the moon loved the sun so much,
That she only allowed herself to see him momentarily

At twilight...

Tell me that the sun loved the moon so much, that he stretched his rays to caress the moon's face

Ever so slightly...

Tell me that the moon loved the sun so much,
That she glowed when he touched her

Every night...

Tell me that the sun and the moon loved each other
  So much,
     That when they kissed,
          The world aligned them perfectly
               So they could be together

At long last...
