By The Moonlight
By The Moonlight
By the moonlight, shines the moon
By the moonlight, shines the stars
By the moonlight, shines the sky, so dark
But how does the sky that is so dark, shine so bright?
How can we see the dark of night?
How does the dark sky, shine through the moonlight?
Once you are by the moonlight,
It is such a wondrous sight
Everything feels so right
When you feel the moonlight
When you taste the moonlight
When you hear the voice of the moonlight
Howling in the gentle breeze of a September night
Taking in the noise of silence that you know,
Is by the moonlight
