I  believe that you were born
during  an eclipse
and  the stars named you moon  child
 then  you come,  you rise  in to my sky
you  stepped in front of my sun  and it makes the whole  world dark
and  you light up the night
just  like the moon
just  like the moon  you light  up the night
and  sometimes, sometimes  I only  get a sliver of  ya
 but I'm hopin',  I'm hopin'  for a full  moon tonight
laid  back and I'm restless  in the daytime
 and I'm chased  by these shadows  oh thats taunting  me
and  then you come  with nighttimes  woolly blanket
 and you wrap  me like a child  who's been in the rain  too long
 and you light up the night
 just like the moon
 just like the moon you light up the night
 and sometimes, sometimes I only get a sliver of ya
 but I'm hopin', I'm hopin' for a full moon tonight
 oh  I've chased the moon, ya know I've tried
and  each time I've tried, each time  I've failed
and  each time I get so down  on myself
and  I can't stand this pace  of a snail
while  the rest of the world pales  all the night
ya  know I
know  that I can probably  never  be the same
 'cause you light up the night
 just like the moon
 just like the moon you light up the night
 and sometimes, sometimes I only get a sliver of ya
 but I'm hopin', I'm hopin' for a full moon tonight
and  in the night
I  can feel your lovelight  shining bright
falling  down on me  like autumn leaves
And  in the night
I  can see you shining  bright
 tell me how  am i supposed  to fall asleep
and  in the night
I  can feel your lovelight  shining bright
falling  down on me  like autumn leaves
And  in the night
I  can see you shining  bright
 tell me how  am i supposed  to fall asleep
