Lyrics
I feel like the man in the moon tonight
His eyes like mine look so sad and lonely
It isn't an easy time
The days are just dragging by
I'm so far away from home
Living here on my own
Why do we - have to be - out of reach - it's not right
You should be here with me it's what I need tonight
Distance and time are not on our side it's a crime
They keep us apart at the very start of our lives
I feel like a man on the moon tonight
And there's no gravity here to hold me
I want to be on my way
Before the memories begin to fade
But I got to put in the time
Everything's on the line
You have to dance with circumstance
And follow where it leads
Take a chance - make a plan - and believe
This work is what I have to do
Though it takes me far from you
I've got to see this thing through
Try to succeed
Why do we have to be out of reach it's not right
You should be here with me it's what I need tonight
Let's get away find a place far away out of sight
Let's make a break whatever it takes tonight
I feel like the man in the moon tonight
And his eyes like mine look so sad and lonely
It isn't an easy time
The days are just dragging by
I'm so far away from home
Living here on my own
I'm so far away from home
Like a man on the moon alone
