Just Like the Moon

I sat outside one afternoon In an old lawn chair And I watched the sun set off For business west somewhere While the sky turned watercolor fine And gold and blue And the stars all showed up one by one And we waited for the moon And I thought bout you and I wondered why It took so long to say goodbye You shined so bright you blinded me And left me so I couldnt see (CHORUS) I was the moon chasing the sun There was never a prayer of ever catching up No matter how fast I would run Like the moon chasing the sun Just like the moon chasing the sun The crickets called And the moon peeked out to the eastern sky They both start up about this time each night And an evening breeze stopped by And brought some sweet relief In the silver light I finally let go of the heat And I thought bout you and I wondered why It took so long to say goodbye You shined so bright you blinded me And left me so I couldn't see (CHORUS) --- Just Like the Moon - Ilse DeLange
