The Wait

The man in the moon is a friend of mine,
I talk to him most every night.
I tell him how deeply I long for you
and how I hope that you're all right.

He insists there's no need to worry,
that he's watching over you...
Helping you to have sweet dreams
And sleep the while night through.

He says his lady friend helps him
by singing sweet lullabies
So that when you're sad, feeling all alone,
She helps to calm your cries.

Until I can come to get you,
which I hope is very soon,
Please find solace in the stars
and my friend, the man in the moon.

For I'm watching him and he's watching you,
So it's like I'm at your side,
Tucking you in, kissing your cheek,
And telling you, dear, "good night".
