(chapin hartford/george teren)



The fences are mendedthe bills are all paid

And I feel kinda guilty for feeling this way

For all you that you give me and all that you do

I can't help missing the romantic moments I once had with you



Chorus:

I'm only asking for the moon

The stars in your eyes

One of those nights when you hold me close to you

I'm not asking for mucha kiss or a touch

Nothing thats hard to do

I'm only asking for the moon



It won't cost a penny

You don't have to go far

Who needs to see paris

When we can find heaven in our own back yard



(repeat chorus)



I need you to hold me close like you used to do

I'm only asking for the moon
