I’ll Take The Moon ©2012 David Coller

All day I walked along these streets with you
We did a hundred things we love to do
On every corner there was something new
This perfect day, your perfect face, this perfect hour, this perfect place
Should be enough for any man
One time around is all we get, they say you never should forget
How hard it is to hold what’s in your hand, but

I’ll take the moon
I’ll take the moon
You brought me sunlit hours
Suntans and summer flowers but
I’ll take the moon

“A loaf of bread, a jug of wine, and thou”
Who was the poet said that, anyhow?
How could he know that moment was just now?
Your laughing eyes, the dancers’ sway, this tender love, this small café
Are like a dream that I once had
If it could be like this for life, I’d gladly do it over twice
And never think to question what I had, still

I’ll take the moon
I’ll take the moon
You brought champagne and roses
Candles and evening clothes but
I’ll take the moon

I lay beside you on this feather bed
After the words that could be said, were said
After the troubles of the day had fled
That pale light falling on your breast, that gentle curve, that soft caress
Are like the gift of heaven’s grace
She’s going gray, she’s sometimes cold, and truth be told she’s growing old
Still when she shines her light upon your face, ahh

I’ll take the moon
I’ll take the moon
The sun is rising up and
The new day’s calling us but
I’ll take the moon
