Just Like the Moon Lyrics

© by Brett Dennen

I believe that you were born during an eclipse
And the stars named you moon child
Then you come, you rise into my sky
You step in front of my sun and it makes my whole world dark
And you light up the night, just like the moon
Just like the moon you light up the night
And sometimes, sometimes I only get a sliver of ya
But I'm hopin', I'm hopin' for a full moon tonight

Laid back and I'm restless in the daytime
And I'm chased by these shadows oh, that's haunting me
And then you come with night-time's woolly blanket
And you wrap me like a child who's been in the rain too long

And you light up the night, just like the moon
Just like the moon you light up the night
And sometimes, sometimes I only get a sliver of ya
But I'm hopin', I'm hopin' for a full moon tonight
Oh I've chased the moon, you know I've tried
And each time I've tried, each time I've failed
And each time I get so down on myself
And I can't stand this pace of a snail
While the rest of the world pales all the night

Mmhmm

You know I, I-ee-I know, I know,
I know that I can probably never be the same

'Cause you light up the night, just like the moon
Just like the moon you light up the night
And sometimes, sometimes I only get a sliver of ya
But I'm hopin', I'm hopin' for a full moon tonight
And in the night
I can feel your lovelight shining bright
Falling down on me like autumn leaves

And in the night
I can see you shining bright
Tell me how am i supposed to fall asleep

And in the night
I can feel your lovelight shining bright
Falling down on me like autumn leaves

And in the night
I can see you shining bright
Tell me how am i supposed to fall asleep
