If I was the man in the moon
I'd shine down my light for you
Each silvery beam would caress you in dreams
Like my two loving arms used to do
I'd watch over you every night
Never too late or too soon
But always on time
My love light would shine
If I was the man in the moon
Some say it's better to love and then lose
Than never have loved at all
It's hard to return the love that once burned
To the cold lonely world where nobody calls

Repeat Chorus

I'm only a phone call away from your voice
But our lives have grown so far apart
I'd have less resistance way up in the distance
Sending my love light straight into your heart

Chorus - repeat to end
But always on time
My lovelight would shine
If I was the man in the moon
