Man in the Moon
Since you've gone again, I've made a new friend,
He watches over me every night,
He's faithful and true, he ain't nothing like you,
We never argue 'bout who's wrong or right,
And when I need to talk about my feelings,
He lets me go on until I'm through
And when I start rocking and reeling
'Cause I'm missing you
Chorus:
(I know that) the man in the moon,
Is coming out soon,
And he's got all night,
To make it all right,
Since you won't come home to light up this lonesome room,
Hell, I might as well love the man in the moon
I go for a walk, he follows behind me,
Never letting me out of his sight,
And if I get lost, he's sure to find me,
Shining down with his silvery light,
And when that blinding sun breaks through my window,
And I think I can't face another day
Without your sweet love, I remember
He'll be back my way
Bridge:
It's true he can't reach his moonbeams down to hold me right,
Or keep me safe and warm the way your arms did every night,
But sure as this old world just keeps on spinning round,
He'll be waiting when the sun goes down
Chorus:
('Cause I know that) the man in the moon,
Is coming out soon,
And he's got all night,to make it all right,
Since you won't come home to light up this lonesome room,
Hell, I might as well love the man in the moon,
You ain't coming back no time soon baby,
Might as well love the man in the moon
