Lyrics
Moonlight Tune
Lying here, wondering what I?m gonna say
Hoping it will come out all right
Feeling like a zombie at the end of day
Praying I will sleep through the night
And I?m trying
Trying to believe that I?m right
And I?m crying
Crying cause I miss you tonight
Window curtains dancing in the other room
Are making ballet moves in the breeze
Never could appreciate a moonlight tune
Without your hands to play it for me
And I?m hoping
Hoping you will realize you?re wrong
And I?m coping
Coping with the fact that you?re gone
BRIDGE
Wanting to believe that I can sleep alone
As the endless night just drags on and on
Wishing that my memories would turn to stone
Knowing that I?ve been such a pawn
And I?m angry
Angry that you used me this way
And I?m crazy
Crazy as the sun breaks the day
Lying here, wondering what I?m gonna say
Hoping it will come out all right
Feeling a zombie at the end of day
Wishing I could hold you tonight
Praying I can find you
Praying I can hold you
Praying I can sleep
One of these nights
Window curtains dancing in the other room
Are making ballet moves in the breeze
Never could appreciate a moonlight tune
Without your hands to play it for me
