Do you know what it`s like
To be drifting alone in outer space
Yet everyone sees a happy face
Riding high in the sky
As the world passes by
It`s out of reach
It`s out of touch
Do I ask too much
And I always hide my darker side
Yeah you only see the lighter side
And sometimes you don`t see me, but I`m always there
And I, I`m the man in the moon
I shine but the light is not my own
I sway the tide with a gentle tone
And I, I`m the man in the moon
And though you may think I`m shining bright
I`m just a cold and lonely frozen satellite
And I live with the stars
Up with Venus and mars
But from a distance
You don`t see
That I`m full of scars
And sometimes I`m blue
And I don`t know what to do
And as time passes by
I drift further away
And I`m hollow inside
How I wish I could stay
But I don`t belong with anyone
And I disappear with the rising sun
Yes I only show my face when the world is dreaming
And I, I`m the man in the moon
I shine but the light is not my own
I sway the tide with a gentle tone
And I, I`m the man in the moon
And though you may think I`m shining bright
I`m just a cold and lonely frozen satellite
Mad dogs howl at me in the lonely night
And I don`t know what to do to make it right
And I, I`m the man in the moon
I shine but the light is not my own
I sway the tide with a gentle tone
And I, I`m the man in the moon
And though you may think I`m shining bright
I`m just a cold and lonely frozen satellite
