Lover's Moon
Glenn Frey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a lover's moon, tonight
As I look back over my shoulder
All the stars are shining bright
Just like the nights when I used to hold her
She's out there somewhere, under the lover's moon

Lover's moon, won't you shine on me?
I'm dancing with a memory
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have one last chance to hold her tight
Waiting, I know she's waiting
I know she waits for me, under the lover's moon

There's a lover's moon, tonight
Shining down on half of this world
So many souls are in it's light
But for me, there is just one girl
And she's waiting, I know she's waiting




I know she waits for me, under the lover's moon
Under the lover's moon

Naalala ko back 80s to early 90s bihira lang my kuryente.Ang buwan ang nagmistula liwanag.Uso pa gumawa ng tolda habang magkwentohan katatakutan.Haggang sa napunta kami sa topic sa future namin....miss those days karamihan sa amin nasa abroad.Hindi nga kami nabigyan ng maganda pamilya.ang sigurado masaya childhood namin🥰😍
