Moon
Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you were the Sun and I the Moon
Would you ever see me in your light
Would you let me close enough to feel you
I wanna feel the warmth of all your fire
And darling if you ever go dark
No orbit would ever feel the same
Cause I can feel you heating up my hearth
And you put all the other stars to shame
So please don't ever let me go
Let me go, let me go, let me go
And I will take your every storm in stride
Cause I know I'm a little hard-headed
But I'll show you off almost every night
I know I've got some competition
I'm just one of many by your side
And Mercury's got style I'll give it to him
But I know that in me you confide
And I'm a rock that's full of holes
But down in my soul
I know that I'm gifted with a goal
Keep the tidal roll
But it only matters if you're there
Baby keep in mind
That I'm light upon my feet
Lighting up the streets
Helping keep the lovers in their sheets
Dancing under me baby
I hope that you are aware
That darling if you ever go dark
No orbit would ever feel the same
Cause I can feel you heating up my hearth
And you put all the other stars to shame
So please don't ever let me go
Let me go, let me go, let me go
And I will take your every storm in stride
Cause I know I'm a little hard-headed
But I'll show you off almost every night
Baby I promise
I promise this to you




Oh sunshine I promise
The Sun will always come before the Moon
