As you lie in my arms
Girl my hearts on my sleeve
Words come so hard, in moments like these
there's feelings I have, that are so hard to show
But right now there's one thing
I want you to know

As long as the tides ebb
The earth turns the sun sets
I promise I'll always be true
And as long as there's Stars over Texas
Darling I'll hang the moon for you

I know I have stumbled and caused you some tears
When you needed me most I haven't always been there
I know I'm not always the man I should be
But don't ever wonder what you mean to me

As long as the tides ebb
The earth turns the sun sets
I promise I'll always be true
And as long as there's Stars over Texas
Darling I'll hang the moon for you

And as long as there's stars over Texas
Darling I'll hang the moon for you
Darling I'll hang the moon for you
