----------------------------------------------------------------------
The moon and you appear to be so
near and yet so far from me,
And here am I, on a night in
June, reaching for the moon and you.
I wonder if we'll ever meet, my
song of love is incomplete,
I'm just the words, looking for
the tune, reaching for the moon and you.
(musical interlude)
I wonder if we'll ever meet, my
song of love is incomplete,
I'm just the words, looking for
the tune, reaching for the moon and you.
