Lyrics:

(Chapin Hartford/George Teren)

The fences are mended, the bills are all paid
And I feel kinda guilty for feeling this way
For all you that you give me and all that you do
I can't help missing the romantic moments I once had with you

I'm only asking for the moon
The stars in your eyes
One of those nights when you hold me close to you
I'm not asking for much, a kiss or a touch
Nothing that's hard to do
I'm only asking for the moon

It won't cost a penny
You don't have to go far
Who needs to see Paris
When we can find heaven in our own back yard

I'm only asking for the moon
The stars in your eyes
One of those nights when you hold me close to you
I'm not asking for much, a kiss or a touch
Nothing that's hard to do
I'm only asking for the moon

I need you to hold me close like you used to do
I'm only asking for the moon
