Sometimes I Wake In the Middle of the Night....

Sometimes I wake in the middle of the night and decide to take a long walk so I slip on my shoes and my very best hat and of course my flowered soft smock I'm all set to go as I step to the ledge and take a deep breath to push off out through the window I step on the stars and land on the moon ever soft As the moon spins her beams she glances my way surprised to see me appear oh hello she says from her shiny glass face what brings you into my sphere I say Mrs Moon, as I sometimes call her that since tonight you're only half there just thought I'd pop over to see how you are for a quick little chat in your chair So what is the news from the dark side of earth can you see the night owl down there? or what of that cat out prowling around did he give that poor mouse a great scare? And what of the side that is hiding from you is the sun out playing her shine? keeping the flowers and trees ever tall and turning the grapes into wine? Oh Mrs Moon do you hear the stars sing as they twinkle in three part harmony do you hear the seas as they lap the seashore and laugh as they run wild and free Well I guess that is all I wanted to say as I feel quite spent now you see with a yawn and a sigh I gather my things for away I most certainly must be Since it's almost that time now to pull back your beams and to close your eyes for the day to gather the night and put it to rest Mrs Moon put your moon shine away I step off the moon and back to the stars back to the ledge of my room slip off my shoes and my hat from my head sinking deep in the sleep of the moon
