Lyrics

Sometimes that old moon hangs a little bit lower
Than it did the night before
So If I tried I could reach out and touch it
And bring some light into my world

And sometimes she seems a little bit bluer
Than she did just yesterday
But if I try to reach out and touch her
She just turns away

I can't find a way to light her darkness
I pray to God to send the sun
'Cause I just want to make her happy
But it's the one job I can't get done

My daddy taught me how to love a family
A kind of selfless keeping on
He said if you give just one thing to your children
Let them see you love their mom

But it ain't got a thing to do with loving
It's something I can't put my finger on
'Cause i just want to make her happy
But it's the one job I can't get done

Sometimes she's so deep in herself
That there ain't room enough for me
And sometimes when i look in her eyes
I see the woman she wants to be

So I just stand on the edge of the darkness
And reflect what light I can
'Cause I just want to make her happy
And I'll be here until I can
