A country dance was being held in a garden I felt a bump and heard an "Oh, beg your pardon" Suddenly I saw polka dots and moonbeams All around a pug-nosed dream The music started and was I the perplexed one I held my breath and said "May I have the next

She woke up and took me by the hand And that's alright with me Moonlight dancing off her hair She's gonna love me in my Chevy van Cause like a picture she was laying there I gave a girl a ride in my wagon And she crawled in and took control She was tired

You will never come close to how I feel You will never come close to how I feel Cracks in the pavement underneath my shoe I care less and less about and less about you No one else around to look at me So I can look at my shadow as much as I please All

The stars ain't got nothing on you Your heart burns much brighter than the moon If you ever feel lost and broken inside Just remember the way you helped me shine Life is a beautiful messed up mystery Yeah, it's true, it can make you laugh, it can cut you

Bye bye baby time to hit the road to dreamland You're my baby dig you in the land of nod Hold tight baby we'll be swinging up in dreamland All night baby where the little cherubs trot Look at that knocked out moon You been a-blowing his top in the blue

I've got a sad and lonely view Of a melancholy moon My pillow smells like your perfume In my blue bedroom From my blue bedroom Missing you in my blue bedroom Woke up this morning with day old coffee Smoked what was left of your cigarette Sit by the phone

'Cause I never knew, I never knew You could hold moonlight in your hands 'Til the night I held you You are my moonlight The sun is setting And you're right here by my side And the movie's playing But we won't be watching tonight

If I could block the moon And rob the sun from the sky My love for you would still shine through me somehow And if the rain won't fade away My love would still soar I love you, girl And I know it shows I can't deny The joy I found

Oh, how I dream Let it be me, my love And a table that feels your fingertips Let it be me, let me be your love Bring an end to the endless days and nights Like a lover, the velvet moon Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep Its light arrives on

It could've been me Standing there with you And my dreams coming true But those dreams move on If you wait too long It took me 'til now to see I hear you just got married Took a month long honeymoon A new love smiles at the wedding
