Story Behind The Song
As a married woman with 2 children it seemed like every day had so many ups and downs. I tended to blame it on one reason or the other but after a bit deeper thought, I realized that I shouldn't worry just have a better attitude.
Song Description
When I woke up, I was feeling good but soon after I started having a bad day. Should I blame it on a full moon or some thing else? Or is it just my attitude?

Lyrics
CAN'T BLAME IT ON THE MOON
music and lyrics by Linda Storey copyright
When I woke up this morning, had a smile on my face.
Didn't take too long 'fore it fell out of place.
My life is doomed or could it be a full moon?
CHORUS
Can't blame it on the moon for these trials we bear,
it's part of who we are and how we've come this far.
We learn from our mistakes, and all the heartache.
It's a wise one knows, it takes rain to grow.
I tried to get it together, couldn't last forever
I've been here before, lower than the floor.
My life is doomed, or could it be a full moon?
CHORUS
When I wake up in the morning, I'll put a smile on my face.
Won't let misfortune make it fall out of place.
My life's not doomed, it's only the sound of my tune.
CHORUS
