I am lonely like the Moon   You are far away as the Earth   Though you say I light your thoughts night after night   Soon we forget      We are drifting in this dance   I can feel you circle my heart   Keeping such a graceful distance   So close but somehow apart      Sometimes I cry for you   Knowing you don't want me to   Sometimes I whisper to the stars up in the sky      That I want to find the way to your soul   Kissing the sun when morning comes   You don't seem to count the hours   When we are not together      I've seen a tender fire in your eyes   Yet when I'm gone, you carry on   I float in this emptiness   'Til at last love returns   With the night   And the lonely Moon      I am lonely like the Moon   Always wanting you to be near   I embrace you 'til the dawn   Then with a smile you disappear      We continue in our dance   There are times I think it should end   But I lose myself in rapture   And we start all over again      Sometimes I cry for you   Knowing you don't want me to   Sometimes I whisper to the stars up in the sky      That I want to find the way to your soul   Kissing the sun when morning comes   You don't seem to count the hours   When we are not together      I've seen a tender fire in your eyes   Yet when I'm gone you carry on   I float in this emptiness   'Til at last love returns   With the night      I love the warm emotion you bring   Though there is pain I don't complain   How you can inspire me   Whenever we're together      Every time it's like a new song   You move me so, I think you know   I won't even say a word   In your arms or far from sight   I'll be a light   Like the lonely Moon
