Mr. Man In The Moon
Letters To The Moon Challenge
Mr. Man in the Moon, I am writing to you
Are you shining at me in disguise
Are you lonesome up there by yourself, there is not a star in sight
I am up with you for the night, so never fear for your light
I am talking to you, because I am sad and blue and you always listen to me
Can you talk to me, I think I see a darker side of you because you shine only when I talk to you, and I can see you flicker like a light bulb that is burning out.
Why are you hiding behind the trees like a thief in the night
Are you Blue Mr. Moon, are you hiding your blues from the world
To the whole world you show a shining face
Your glow, you never have to fear it is a disgrace
Can you tell I am lonely and blue
And are you saying that you feel that way too.
If you are, your heart must be broken like mine
