LYRICS:

[Verse 1]

I know it's been so long

Since we saw each other last

I'm sure we'll find some way

To make the time pass

[Chorus]

Hey moon, it's just you and me tonight

Everyone else is asleep

Hey moon, if I was to fall

I won't fall so deep

Though I doubt I'm gonna

You can wake me up if you wanna

[Verse 2]

And your pale, round face

Makes me feel at home in any place

I would happen to be

At a quarter past three

[Verse 3]

The moon chased the sun out of the sky

Goodbye sun, the night's begun

The moon chased the sun out of the sky

Goodbye sunshine, the night is mine

[Chorus]

Hey moon, it's just you and me tonight

Everyone else is asleep

Hey moon, if I was to fall

I won't fall so deep

Though I doubt I'm gonna

You can wake me up if you wanna

I would hate for you to hang there all alone

The whole night through

And I would love to spend the whole night

Just looking at you

[Verse 4]

And those seeds, little stars you spread around

They make such a dramatic background

I don't care for sunbeams

No, I need the night to feed my dreams

[Verse 3]

And that's why

The moon chased the sun out of the sky

"Goodbye sun! The night's begun"

The moon chased the sun out of the sky

"Goodbye sunshine! the night is mine"

[Outro]

Hey moon, my old friend

Hey moon, the night is coming to an end

Hey moon, come back soon
