Moon Song

Story Behind The Song

The mail came and there was a wedding announcement. Her sure thing, the guy who would always be there loving her if she couldn't find the one she really wanted, was married. Of course she hadn't been invited to the wedding - I mean everyone always assumed she would finally wake up and see this fabulous guy right in front of her, loving her like crazy and THEY would be the ones standing at the altar together. But she just kept looking past him. Until he finally gave up. He finally let her go and gave his heart to someone else. And so she just HAD to call to say...what? "I was a fool"? "I want you now, please come back"? or just their old standby: "I didn't want you to miss the moon."

Lyrics

MOON SONG
You weren't expecting to hear from me
But there's something outside you just have to see
I thought it might be worth a call
It's so full and bright right now
But when you look again it could be so small
And I didn't want you to miss the moon
No I didn't want you to miss the moon

By the way I think it's great
You're getting married, I got the word yesterday
Everybody thought it would be you and me
But I was so busy searching back then
That I looked right past what I should've seen
And I didn't want you to miss the moon
No I didn't want you to miss the moon...

Her pale clear light
Is strong enough to pull the tide
Away too soon
And I didn't want you to miss the moon

I guess I really called to let you know
Something that I should've told you long ago
That no one's ever loved me like you do
Like you used to...
And I didn't want you to miss the moon

You weren't expecting to hear from me
