I reach for you in the middle of the night
And find myself grasping at air
My heart skips a beat as as I search for you
But I know that you will not be there
I glance out the window, I see your form
Staring at the moon-lit sky
Your face looks so peaceful, finally content
As the pale moon catches your eye
When you look to the moon, do you see his face?
The man you see in your dreams?
He makes you so happy. He brings you such joy
But does he look anything like me?
The Man in the Moon know your every need
He knows how to make you content
You tell him your secrets, your every desire
Your happiness in his main intent
But at night, when you look at the star-filled sky
It tears my heart in two
For never have you looked at me that way
Despite what I want, this is true
As you slip through the night in your silken gown
And the moonbeams caress your skin
I want to object, cry out! But I can't
For pleasing you is no sin
I watch as you smile at some hidden joke
Between you and your secret love
Never have you smiled at me with such joy,
I know it's not me you dream of
