Story Behind The Song

Father told daughter that when the moon is full and bright, if she waves at it, then all her loved ones who have passed away will see her waving. She believes him and always waves at the moon after he passes away.

Song Description

Daughter remembers her late father when she looks up at the moon.

Lyrics

There's something in the way the moon is full tonight
That lets me know I'm all right
'Cause I know that you're out there

You the one who showed me how bright that moon could be
And then you would turn to me
And say that's beautiful

I'd look at you and know that I had everything
And when I'd hear you whistling
The world could stop right there and then
Just you and me and the moon above just waiving and whistling

Chorus
And Daddy, I'm waving at you tonight
The moon in the sky's so bright
I know you can see
And Daddy, I'll whistle that tune once more
So you can be really sure
That I'm starting to see
'Cause I know that you are waving back at me

A little girl will believe every word her daddy says
And then when she levaes the nest
She's got to learn on her own

You taught me so many things like to tie my shoes
Helped me get through the blues
But now I'm all grown

I try to live my life the way you'd want me to
Keep my head
Give my heart
Speak what's true

It's not the same since you've been gone
I miss you so
Now it's you and the moon up there somewhere
And me here below

Chorus
