New Moon

Many moons

Many moons ago


Many moons

Many moons ago


Many moons

Many moons ago


Many moons

Many moons ago


Dream…


I had a dream

I dreamt that it was only you and me


So

And so it seemed

That when I cried

You’d hold me close

Look into my eyes


And whisper softly


I know today is hard

Tomorrow we will get up and fight

But for now I wanna hold you tight

And love you through the darkness of the night


These lonely hours can be dark and cold

But you don’t have to be lonely cuz you’ve got a hand to hold


Don’t

Don’t feel alone

Underneath a sunless sky

You don’t even need the stars to shine


To know

Know you’re not alone

I’ll be the moon

I’ll be your guide

When you’re down or feel like crying

I can’t always make it better but I’ll be there by your side


Hope

You gave me hope

Took my heart

And bundled it

In a blanket of your soft pale light


Then I awoke

In the dark and all alone

All this time I should’ve known

Once my heart was safe with you

I’d get old and once again the moon would be new


But that was

That was…


Many moons

Many moons ago


Many moons

Many moons ago


Many moons

Many moons ago


Many moons

Many moons ago


Now I don’t

Don’t feel alone

Underneath a moonless sky

Without your light I found the stars that shine


I know

Know I’m not alone

I’ll be under the stars

I’ll be guided by lights

That will never be far

Even in the coldest and darkest of nights
