YOUR EYES, THE MOON AND YOU

Your Eyes, the Moon and You

Last night I saw a perfect moon,

Floating huge above the trees,

Out-shining every star in the sky,

Stirring up the breeze.

Never met a soul with eyes

As soft and deep and kind as yours.

If I could paint the face of love,

I surely would paint yours.

No one’s ever looked at me

With eyes like yours,

Adoringly.

Taken by surprise,

And here’s the thing:

Your eyes, the moon and you

Give me reason to sing.

Never wrote a song about the moon,

Not until tonight.

Never thought that

I could get it right.

But no one’s ever looked at me

With eyes like yours,

Adoringly.

Taken by surprise,

And here’s the thing:

Your eyes, the moon and you

Give me reason to sing.

No one’s ever looked at me

With eyes like yours,

Adoringly.

Taken by surprise,

And here’s the thing:

Your eyes, the moon and you –

God, I love that view –

Your eyes, the moon and you

Give me reason to sing.
