Just Like The Moon

I sat outside one afternoon

In an old lawn chair

And I watched the sun set off

For business west somewhere

While the sky turned watercolor fine

And gold and blue

And the stars all showed up one by one

And we waited for the moon

And I thought bout you and I wondered why

It took so long to say goodbye

You shined so bright you blinded me

And left me so I couldnt see

(CHORUS)

I was the moon chasing the sun

There was never a prayer of ever catching up

No matter how fast I would run

Like the moon chasing the sun

Just like the moon chasing the sun

The crickets called

And the moon peeked out to the eastern sky

They both start up about this time each night

And an evening breeze stopped by

And brought some sweet relief

In the silver light I finally let go of the heat

And I thought bout you and I wondered why

It took so long to say goodbye

You shined so bright you blinded me

And left me so I couldnt see

(CHORUS)
