I look out my window 
At the world I once owned 
And I see it's still spinning round
But somewhere above me 
A light I once knew 
No longer shines through the clouds
But that's somebody else's moon tonight 
Those're somebody else's stars
They're no longer mine 
Cause somewhere tonight 
You're in somebody else's arms

Remember the wishes 
We made in the night 
When dreams were supposed to come true
Well I do cause you 
Put the stars in my eyes 
As you softly promised the moon
That's somebody else's moon tonight

They're no longer mine 
Cause somewhere tonight 
You're in somebody else's arms
