The Man In The Moon

you gaze down at me
smile your gracious smile
say you can't see a ladder
you might stay for a while

come down I say hopefully
you can see the sun from here
I can help you find it
I can move it nearer

I hold the world up to you
it can be beautiful I say
if you wish it to be
if you want it to be

I offer you my hand
please take it I say
just step down off the moon
kings are made in the day

it can be beautiful I say
I can help it to be
oh, can you even hear me
I cry desperately

I call up to you
take my hand I say, please
you call back, say you love me
blow kisses to the breeze

I have lived in the sun you say
it burned me every day
I can see all my stars from here
all my stars lie this way

I gaze up at you
see that you are beautiful
magnificently beautiful
magnificently you

I think I cry
