(Mark Alan Springer)      Some folks look through telescopes   And dream of flying high above the sky   And they say it won't be long   Till we can hope a ship to mars.      Well, I'm just a simple man   There's a lot that I don't know   But as long as you're here with me   I'd just as soon stay home.      On this side of the moon   Things are goin' my way   Your love keeps shinin' through   Even when it rains.      There's no where else I'd rather be   I'm happy standin' here in these shoes   With you here in my life the world is lookin' bright   On this side of the moon.      --- Instrumental ---      (Spoken)   Well, sometimes on a clear night   We pull up a chair out in the yard.      (Sang)   I'm always amazed   At the good Lord who made so many stars   And I know I'd feel out of place   Strolling through the milky way   Aw, you must thank the astronauts   I think I'd rather stay.      On this side of the moon   Things are goin' my way   Your love keeps shinin' through   Even when it rains.      There's no where else I'd rather be   I'm happy standin' here in these shoes   With you here in my life the world is lookin' bright   On this side of the moon.      With you here in my life   The world keeps look in' bright   On this side of the moon...
