The Moonlight Lyrics

What if said this could not last forever?

What if I don't care if you care?

What if I mistook our adventures

As a worthless past, save worth saying goodbye?

And with fewer words we close ourselves in letters

Sent through October and 11 other months

But what if 10:06 in the evening

Or 1:06 in the morning

Was just a time minutes past your goodnights?

There was always something about her in the moonlight

There was always something about her in the stars

There was always something about her in the moonlight

Though they never fell 'round where we were

And with too few words you'll seal this

It's hardly worth the argument

I guess I'll wait for a lonely night

And if you think this is best

Then I'll walk away with no regrets except

For giving you the gun

There was always something about her in the moonlight

There was always something about her in the stars

There was always something about her in the moonlight

Though they never fell 'round where we were

You are there on the horizon

(Running)

Running from the evening's setting sun

(From you, and where you are)

(Running)

And with your last said goodbyes

(From you)

And my plain-phrased replies

We'll shut this down, these last two years

And walk away without a tear

So I wrote this simple song

And play these simple chords

And sing this simple melody

Until you can't take no more

And hide behind the door

And feign your happiness with me

Heaven holds our happiness

(And if we ever fall apart we'll know

We're safe here in Heaven)

Heaven holds our happiness

(And if we ever fall apart we'll know

We're safe here in Heaven)
