THE MOONLIGHT

Oh …
She will always need the moonlight
As the sun steals back it’s day
She feels alone without the moonlight's
Gentle guidance of her way

And as the night surrounds her…
Moonlight keeps the dark at bay
She will always need the moonlight..
To chase her fears away…….

~~~*Chorus*~~~
She's a fragile soul
Sheds unfeigned tears
A life of ethereal wonders
True as she appears
She’s the flower’s petals
Wears a gossamer shield
Guarding her from darkness
The Coldness that it yields 
Please revere her deeply
Heed her fear of night
Wipe the canvas clear
For moonlight
~~*~~

Oh…
I beckon to the moonlight
To permeate the shading skies
Send it’s gentle glow upon her
When dismay does arise 

And she will find a smile again
Wipe away her tears for you
Delight in light, reflected off
The drops of evening dew…

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
Until the brilliance of the Sun... lights the canvas in the skies
Before the darkness and daylight.... have their chance to collide
Before the looming haze lifts... its veil to blazing light
Ease her deep foreboding with the moonlight
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
She's a fragile soul
Sheds unfeigned tears
A life of ethereal wonders
True as she appears
She’s the flower’s petals
Wears a gossamer shield
Guarding her from darkness
The Coldness that it yields 
Please revere her deeply
Heed her fear of night
Wipe the canvas clear
For moonlight
~~*~~
Oh, oh, oh….the moonlight
