Lyrics

Over the Moon


In the heady heat of Hollywood, in neon?s ghostly glow
I met a team of tunesmiths, who surprised us with a show
As they sat there singing, my heart was split in two
I beheld the gates of glory, and I knew I must get through
My tongue was tasting tears, that I could not conceal
As I began to stammer, this is how I wish to feel

CH) That every breath is pleasure, every smile is real
Every word is soothing, and every touch can heal
Every step gets somewhere, and every song?s in tune
And every day at sunrise I?m over the moon

So I flew home a-flutter, and bursting with the news
Aware of my potential for bliss and blahs and blues
So, I drew myself a picture, in case a should forget
Exactly where I?m going when I?m still not there yet
Would I stumble backward, or could I carry on?
An angel grabbed my shoulder, ?Come on, come on, come on?

CH) Where every breath is pleasure, every smile is real
Every word is soothing, and every touch can heal
Every step gets somewhere, and every song?s in tune
And every day at sunrise I?m over the moon

I know it?s safer in the shadows, but she calls again, says ?I hope you can.?
Who am I to hide, once invited for the ride? I?m gonna dance, dance.

CH) ?cause every breath is pleasure, every smile is real
Every word is soothing, and every touch can heal
Every step gets somewhere, and every song?s in tune
And every day at sunrise I?m over the moon
