I talk to the man in the moon. I said, "Sir, is she coming back soon?" He smiled and he stated, "Son, I'm over-rated, I've had to much credit in those old love tunes. I don't know a thing about love, I just kind of hang here above. I just watch from the sky, Will love grow or will it die? I don't know a thing about love." Then I asked him "Where is she tonight? You must see all things with your light." He said, "Son, I could tell you things that might kill you, But I don't get involved in what's wrong or right. I don't know a thing about love, I just kind of hang here above. I just watch from the sky, Will love grow or will it die? I don't know a thing about love." He said, "I can move oceans when I take the notion. Or make mountains tremble and rivers run dry. But in all matters human, remember there's someone In charge of those things way above you and I. I don't know a thing about love, I just kind of hang here above. I just watch from the sky, Will love grow or will it die? I don't know a thing about love. I don't know a thing about love."
