Lyrics
Music and lyrics by
Angelina Powers and Tom Toce
Roses to the Moonlit Sky
I love you but I'm so careful, so
I throw roses to the moonlit sky.
I'm hoping if you feel something
You'll catch them by and by.
Nobody knows the truth about
Any other body's soul.
I know where I'm going, babe,
But getting there takes an awful toll.
Words falter when I need meaning, so
I throw roses to the moonlit sky.
I lie beneath your willow tree
And wait for your reply.
Songwriters say that love's a game.
Now and then you're bound to lose.
If you have to break my heart,
What'll I do but sing the blues?
I love you, and I'm so nervous, as
I throw roses to the moonlit sky.
If you can keep them by your bed
These roses never die.
Nobody knows the truth about
Any other body's soul.
I know where I'm going, babe,
But getting there takes an awful toll.
I love you and I'm so certain, that
I throw roses to the moonlit sky.
I'm hoping if you feel something
You'll catch them by and by.
You'll catch them by and by.
So these roses never die.
