Lyrics
Blanket On The Moon
Babe I'll strap us to a balloon, we'll get so high
They'll never get us down, no...
I'll lay a blanket on the moon
We'll sit and watch as the world goes by
And we'll laugh, and we'll laugh because
Ain't no worry in my face
When I'm laying with you in my arms in outer space
Because the stars think you look beautiful tonight
And so do I, so do I my love
That twinkle in your eye
Looks like a shooting star
Baby take my hand, we'll run away
We'll run so very far
And someday we'll look back
On who we were
And think of who we could have been
And then we'll laugh
Ain't no worry in my face
When I'm laying with you in my arms in outer space
Because the stars think you look beautiful tonight
And so do I, so do I my love
Someday we'll be so far apart
We'll be all sick and old
And then I'll light up my last cigarette
And take one long last pull
And then I'll breathe it in
And breathe it out
And look up at the moon
And think of you
And I'll laugh, and I'll laugh because
Ain't no worry in my face
When I'm laying with you in my arms in outer space
Because the stars think you look beautiful tonight
And so do I, so do I my love
So do I, my love
So do I, my love
