Man in the Moon
Kathy Kallick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It lit up the night just like a neon sign
Warmed up my heart to hear about that spark
Mystery profile hangin' in the dark
CHORUS:
You must be the man in the moon
With twinklin' eyes that could light up the night
You must be the man in the moon
You walk in the room shinin' like the sun
Everybody wishin' on you, who'll be the one
To wear you like a pearl, one lucky girl
You lookin' down on the whole wide world
CHORUS
I took a little look late last night
The sky was deep purple, it was cool and quiet
I saw your smile, it was sweet and white
There is not a star that could dim that light
