You say you wanna see the moon Outside of our living room Over the Manhattan sky Like we saw last night You don't understand where she's gone When the morning comes And I promise you she'll be back tonight We'll find her and we'll say goodnight We'll say goodnight So you look for her in the books we read In the shadows curve you show her to me When the sun goes down and she's there again Brighter now, your brand new friend And for me the skyline's changed Same old buildings rearranged The sky's a richer shade of blue And the moon's my new friend too My new friend too I used to travel in a straight line Now I'm walking on a road that winds You take my hand and we take our time Oh we take our time We take our time The moon shines on our half of the sky And on the half that you left behind When it's nighttime here, it's morning there But the moon in the same everywhere While I'm singing you a lullaby someone's waking up on the other side The moon shining on her too She'll see it and she'll think of you She'll think of you I used to travel in a straight line Now I'm walking on a road that winds You take my hand and we take our time Oh we take our time We take our time You hear music in everything The rain's a drum The traffic sings I listen too and I dance along We keep on dancing when the music's gone When the music's gone I used to travel in a straight line Now I'm walking on a road that winds You take my hand and we take our time Oh we take our time We take our time
