Beautiful Moon
Kris Allen Lyrics

Oh beautiful moon
The singer addresses the moon and acknowledges its beauty.

Sing me your song
The singer asks the moon to share its beauty and inspiration through music.

Make it slow
The singer requests the moon to sing in a relaxed pace.

And sweet
The singer asks the moon to sing in a pleasant tone or melody.

If you can
The singer realizes that the moon may not be able to guarantee the song, but still requests it to try its best.

Don't worry 'bout the clouds in the sky
The singer assures the moon that the clouds are transient and not a hindrance to its beauty.

'Cause they'll all
The singer restates the fact that the clouds are temporary.

Wash away
The singer implies that the clouds will disappear due to natural processes, and thus should not be considered problematic.

With the time
The singer explains that the clouds (like all other things in this world) will eventually pass and disappear over time.

This back porch singin' praises
The singer describes the atmosphere around him - appreciating nature and the serene environment of his 'back porch'.

And when the smoke leaves
The singer suggests that there might be smoke nearby or pollution in general that obstructs his view of the sky and blurs his perception of things.

I see your faces
The singer recognizes the moon as a prominent figure in the sky and hopes to see it clearly amidst the pollution or smoke.

When it's dark out tonight
The singer refers to the night-time where no sunlight is present and the moon is more visibly prominent in the sky.

I thank God
The singer expresses his gratitude to God for letting him witness the beauty of the moon and the opportunity to appreciate his surroundings.

For givin' you your life
The singer attributes the beauty of the moon to a higher power - consequently thanking it for the existence of the moon in the sky.

When you're all alone
The singer refers to the moments when the moon is the only significant object visible in the sky.

There's no stars
The singer implies that the absence of other stars makes the moon more prominent and more admired.

Where they all go
The singer questions the disappearance of the other stars in the sky and wonders where they go or what obstructs them.

The city lights they hide your graces
The singer explains that artificial light sources of the city obstruct the view of the moon and make it less visible and less appreciated.

And when the smoke leaves
The singer refers again to the smoke or pollution as an obstruction in his surroundings.

I'll see your faces
The singer remains hopeful that the moon will remain visible and prominent in the sky even amidst the pollution.
