The Same Moon

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
When the daylight comes and I look across the room, I see you're gone. As the morning breaks and I reach to hold your hand I can see, see I'm the only one. Well, your clothes are gone and your bags are packed But the bed's still warm where you lay Now I need your love to come shining through To carry me, come carry me away. If you choose a time, I'll catch the moon I'll see you there From wherever I am, wherever you are We'll find somewhere. I see the same stars in the same sky Shining down on you, I'll be looking up from wherever I am And it's you I'll see if you're looking too. There'll be days that'll seem much longer, Some nights will seem so cold, And it's gotta come soon - please don't be too long, Don't be too long. If you choose a time, we can catch the moon I'll see you there Whenever it is, from wherever you are Oh we'll find, yes we'll find somewhere. Are you looking at the same moon?
