He loves the dawn

But I am the night

And I bet he wants

Something beautiful, simple and bright

But I think too much

I love like I’m dying

And I come and go like the moon

Like the moon

My face shows when I’m lying

And I may not burn like some

I’ll bathe him in silver light

And when the sunset comes

I’ll be loving him

Loving him all through the night

There was a time

Many in fact

They called me sunshine

But only my mother knows that

A kiss on his shoulder

His chest and his hands

And he talks so funny

So I’d kiss his mouth

And be sunshine again

But just for him

And I may not burn like some

I’ll bathe him in silver light

And when the sunset comes

I’ll be loving him

Loving him all through the night

And oh his laughter

I still hear it thirty midnights after

But I just can’t confess

Oh I know I’m in over my head

And I know he knows

That I know he knows

That he is the sun

But I am the moon

Hung like a ghost in the sky when it’s day

And he’s lighting me too

But he is no fool

He’s sees I’m a mess

So I’ll blame these unsteady hands

On the wine when we dance, nonetheless

And I’ll never burn like some

But I’ll let him shine so bright

He’ll know when morning comes

I’ve been loving him

Loving him all through the night

All through the night

All through the nigh
