walkin' on the moon
The lights of the town were just shutting down The sun was fresh on the rise I met momma at the door, she'd been walking the floor She said boy, you've got stars in your eyes And momma I was walking on the moon last night And two loving arms held me tight As the stars danced around so bright I was walking on the moon last night  Now momma she did weep, boy you've been walking in your sleep You can't keep your feet on the ground It's not always what it seems, young love may be a dream And some angels fly high just to fall down  But momma I was walking on the moon last night And two loving arms held me tight As the stars danced around so bright I was walking on the moon last night  Now the lights of the town are glowing yellow brown The moon is beginning to rise And I left momma at the door, I said don't worry any more I've seen daddy put those same stars in your eyes  And momma I'll be walking on the moon tonight And two loving arms will hold me tight As the stars dance around so bright I'll be walking on the moon tonight  And I'll be walking on the moon tonight And two loving arms will hold me tight As the stars dance around so bright I'll be walking on the moon tonight
