Lyric
A big moon is risin? so bright in the skyBut it won’t shine brighter than the stars in your eyesIt rises above me so bright and so blueAnd I won’t see anyone as lovely as youTake me into the nightPast these lonely dreams in my heartI love you more than I can show youMore than I could know in my heartSo lay down beside me and hold me tonightFor your love has found me and it feels so rightThese thoughts in my mind are so scattered and fewBut I won’t see anyone as lovely as youTake me into the nightPast these lonely dreams in my heartI love you more than I could show youMore than I could know in my heartIn my heart
