Underneath the Moonlight

Am I dreaming underneath the moonlight There’s no looking back at the day gone by All are gathered at the foot of the hills waiting for the something Each dream is different for one and all All life in the palm of your hand, so easy at your fingertips it seems But not for all it seems Dreaming underneath the moonlight is there for all This extraordinary place we call the heavens above Is it all so beautiful for me and you Some dream of food, while others dream of dreams Is it truly bliss when dreams come true Underneath the moonlight I look all around and see but empty space This empty space is to be filled with what Our thoughts or our dreams or our desires Who is the only one to know the difference between them Underneath the moonlight everyone looks away for just that moment For just that moment to return our gaze to dreams floating up above So please let me linger underneath the moonlight for more than just a moment It seems I can go to the end of this earth and gaze upon the same dreams The moonlit path is right there in my every footstep Underneath the moonlight some things are true and some are not Do you know what it means to me to stand here and look beyond myself To see what I deserve but never in reach except for underneath the moonlight What it means to me to reach up and touch the gentle face of the moon To flick at the falling stars whizzing around at my moon There are no two moons the same Each night I gaze up a new face smiling back I watch the drifting clouds stop at the moon to say goodnight The wind lingers to cradle the moon Where I belong is underneath the moonlight to dream my dreams So little strength is needed to be in this place I’m guided with ease by the moonlit path at my feet Underneath the moonlight who will find me here Who will walk by me and never know I was here How dare I go on this way they say Anywhere but stepping onto this moonlit path is quicksand That would mean no tomorrow with not far to go And so there ends the story of one soul defined by another How for do we go this way in the shadows of others Underneath the moonlight anything can happen in just one night So let me be, to be me, and never forget that once you loved me
