Walkin' On the Moon
Tom Russell Lyrics
The lights of the town were just shuttin' down ,
And the moon was red on the rise.
I met momma at the door, she'd been walkinn' the floor,
She said son you got stars in your eyes.
Momma I was walking on the moon last night.
In two lovin' arms that held me tight.
As the stars danced around so bright.
I was walking on the moon last night
You can't keep your feet on the ground.
It's not what it seem, young love might be a dream,
Some angels fly high just to fall down.
But momma I was walking on the moon last night.
In two lovin' arms that held me tight.
As the stars danced around so bright.
I was walking on the moon last night.
Now the lights of the town, are glowin' yellow brown,
And the moon is red on the rise.
I left momma at the door, said don't you worry anymore,
I seen daddy put those same stars in your eyes.
Momma I'll be walking on the moon tonight,
In two lovin' arms that hold me tight.
And as the stars dance around so bright,
I'll be walking on the moon tonight.
