Lyrics:

I sat outside one afternoonIn an old lawn chairAnd I watched the sun set offFor business west somewhereWhile the sky turned watercolor fineAnd gold and blueAnd the stars all showed up one by oneAnd we waited for the moonAnd I thought bout you and I wondered whyIt took so long to say goodbyeYou shined so bright you blinded meAnd left me so I couldnt see(CHORUS)I was the moon chasing the sunThere was never a prayer of ever catching upNo matter how fast I would runLike the moon chasing the sunJust like the moon chasing the sunThe crickets calledAnd the moon peeked out to the eastern skyThey both start up about this time each nightAnd an evening breeze stopped byAnd brought some sweet reliefIn the silver light I finally let go of the heatAnd I thought bout you and I wondered whyIt took so long to say goodbyeYou shined so bright you blinded meAnd left me so I couldnt see(CHORUS)
