Moonlight Tears
I didn't know the moon could cry
But I saw it with my own eyes
It looked like rain the day you died
As tears fell from the skies
Some people said it was only rain
But I knew the moon was sad
It rose each night to stare at you
'Til the jealous stars got mad
These days it doesn't shine as bright
As it did for you back then
Sometimes it won't come out at night
Its sorrow keeps it in
The sun shines a little bit longer now
To cover for the moon
Some people say it's longer days
Not because you left too soon
I saw the moon the other night
Just before the rain
But we know it wasn't rain at all
It's tears from all its pain
