I Am the Moon

I AM THE MOON Each night I lay me down to sleep, My broken hearted eyes do weep, For me there shall be, no other one, I am the moon, and you are the sun, I dwell in darkness, without your light, This love I have, I can not fight, Forever to live, so far away, When I am the night, and you are the day, For what is the moon without your light, An unseen speck, adrift in plight, I am but a shadow, without the sun, My day is ending, when yours has begun, Cold and lifeless, adrift in space, My only warmth, comes from your face, A universe, touched by your gaze, So many worlds lit by your rays, For you are the sun, and I am the moon, You are the wind, and I am the dune, I am the mountain, and you are the sky, And I will always love you, till the day I die, When the eyes of the sky do cry, Its the warmth of the sun, that makes them dry,
