If I was the man in the moon I'd shine down my light for you Each silvery beam would caress you in dreams Like my two loving arms used to do I'd watch over you every night Never too late or too soon But always on time My love light would shine If I was the man in the moon Some say it's better to love and then lose Than never have loved at all It's hard to return the love that once burned To the cold lonely world where nobody calls I'm only a phone call away from your voice But our lives have grown so far apart I'd have less resistance way up in the distance Sending my love light straight into your heart But always on time My lovelight would shine If I was the man in the moon
