Some folks looks through a telescope And dream of flying high above the stars They say it won't be long 'Til we can haul on a ship to Mars I'm just a simple man There's a lot that I don't know But as long as you're here with me I just assume stay home On this side of the moon Things are going my way Your love keeps shining through Even when it rains There's nowhere else I'd rather be I'm happy standing in these shoes With you here in my life The world is looking bright On this side of the moon Sometimes on a clear night We pulled out a chair in the yard And I'm always amazed At the good lord can make so many stars But I know I'd feel out of place Longing through the milky ways All you expect a astronaut I'd think I'd rather stay On this side of the moon Things are going my way Your love keeps shining through Even when it rains There's nowhere else I'd rather be I'm happy standing in these shoes With you here in my life The world is looking bright On this side of the moon
