all my life I'm chasing the Moon
I want her to see
I want her to feel
I want to ask her why she left me
why she hides behind those clouds
why she haven't shed me light
when I grew up in darkness

the Moon, my Moon
I'm getting old but I haven't seen her yet
is she trapped in the sky
or doesn't she know I'm here below?

all my life I'm chasing her
I'm longing for her caress
I want to hear her lullaby
lulling me to a deep sleep
I want her to know my wishes
and nightmares that ruin my dream
I want her beside me
when someone made me cry

the Moon
if only she's here

The author's comments:
If you still have your Moon, say to her that you love her because time is so fast and you might lose her. Always think that you are fortunate because not all children have seen or even known their Moon.

I love you Moon!
