(Julie and Buddy Miller)
Oh cruel moon you shine so bright
And act like everythings all right
You shine as if there's nothing wrong
You shine on down like she's not gone
Oh cruel moon don't make me see
Where our sweet love scene use to be
For it was you who watched our kiss
Please don't lite up the night like this
Oh cruel moon don't shine on me
You'll bring me to her memory
Why you can't you leave me in the dark
You never had a broken heart
Oh cruel moon you say her name
And act as if you're not to blame
You know it hurts me to recall
Or don't you even care at all
Oh cruel moon don't shine on me
You'll bring me to her memory
Why you can't you leave me in the dark
You never had a broken heart
Oh cruel moon so high above
You must have never lost your love
If only you would be my friend
And hide your face from me again
Oh cruel moon you shine so bright
And act like everythings all right
You shine as if there's nothing wrong
You shine on down like she's not gone
Oh cruel moon don't make me see
Where our sweet love scene use to be
For it was you who watched our kiss
Please don't lite up the night like this
Oh cruel moon don't shine on me
You'll bring me to her memory
Why you can't you leave me in the dark
You never had a broken heart
Oh cruel moon you say her name
And act as if you're not to blame
You know it hurts me to recall
Or don't you even care at all
Oh cruel moon don't shine on me
You'll bring me to her memory
Why you can't you leave me in the dark
You never had a broken heart
Oh cruel moon so high above
You must have never lost your love
If only you would be my friend
And hide your face from me again
