My Moonlight

My Moonlight
My moonlight it chose me
It didn't burn, it didn't blind  
It was soft, it was calm 
It touched my soul without a sound 

My moonlight it watches me 
It paints my face in borrowed light 
Her beams whisper 
Soft and true 
"I'm always here"

My moonlight it stayed, 
when every light grew dim
When dreams forgot to shine 
It led they way 
And filled the empty parts with time 

My moonlight it chose me 
It could have fallen anywhere,
Crowded streets or the oceans face 
My moonlight it chose me 
And wrapped me in its warm embrace

It saw the cracks 
The soft parts I keep within 
Yet my moonlight never dimmed, 
My moonlight stayed and made me shine 

My moonlight never chose to fade, 
It never dimmed asking for change
It warmed the quiet deep in me, 
And saw the light I couldn't see 

So now when the stars slip through the night,
And the night is wrapped in gentle light
I smile and whisper to the sky:
My moonlight, it chose me.
