Can you see the moon tonight

Sugar-white perfection

Radiant beams of purest light

Our hearts' connection

Carries me back to a lullaby

The sweetest song in my memory

Of Mama's voice on moonlit nights

To hush her babies, singin'...


I see the moon, the moon sees me

The moon sees the one that I want to see

God bless the moon, and God bless me

And God bless the one I'm longing to see


Did you ever notice the man in the moon

He's the master of reflection

Somehow he knows and imitates

My heart's expressions

Some nights he's melting in clouds of tears

Or shining my smile like the bright sun

But look, tonight the moon looks like

He's missing someone


I see the moon, the moon sees me

The moon sees the one that I want to see

God bless the moon, and God bless me

And God bless the one I'm longing to see
