He shares my loneliness in his face,
I wish I could reach out to hom with love's embrace,
He's all alone as the dark clouds loom,
That lonely man in the moon.
He reminds me of my own lonely heart,
When it's only me and him in the dark,
Sharing together a night that ends too soon,
That lonely man in the moon.
I wonder why sometime we are so alone,
We wonder where love's stars have gone,
The wild birds sing a soulful tune,
To the lonely man in the moon.
I have watched him shine so high in the sky,
With a lonely look in my eye,
From the cold December to the burning June,
I 've spent the long night
with the lonely man in the moon.
We are so much alike,
Both of us are alone at night,
As if the star of fate has wrote love's doom,
For me and that lonely man in the moon.
He is so close to the rainbow I chase,
I know he too longs for love's embrace,
He will leave me way too soon,
He's all alone as the dark clouds loom,
That lonely man in the moon.
