Lyrics
BYE BYE MOON
A little boy's dreamy eyes so full of the moon
He's not going to sleep tonight, he's not in his room
Hypnotized by the stars, he'll gaze at the sky
Where's that boy who thought that he could fly.
Life moves on too fast
Can I make it last?
Bye bye moon.
I close my weary eyes and drift away
I never dream at night, no time to play
I think of yesterday with my eyes to the sky
Am I that boy who thought that he could fly.
Life moves on too fast
I can't bring it back.
Bye bye moon.
When do dreams come true
Can I fly above these blues
I don't want to say bye bye moon.
I asked an old man tonight if he had the time
He said no with a smile, it's the end of the line
He stared up at the moon like he was ready to fly
In his eyes I saw that little boy.
Life moves on too fast
I can't make it last
Bye bye moon.
