V6-WILD

[Intro Instrumental: Upright piano establishes the progression. Loose drums, melodic bass and clipped guitar enter before close vocal harmonies lead into the verse.]

[Verse 1]
I say you’re beautiful.
You say I’m blind.
One of us is wrong about it.
I don’t think it’s me this time.
You say it’s love that makes me see it.
Well, maybe love is right.
A man can miss the moon above
By looking at the sky.

[Post-Chorus Instrumental: Piano and guitar repeat the hook while the full group answers with rough wordless harmonies.]

[Verse 2]
You call it an illusion.
I call it plain and true.
You say I see what I want to.
I say, “I’m looking at you.”
If every man believes his eyes,
And every eye can lie,
Then let me be mistaken
For the rest of my life.

[Chorus]
Who put the moon there?
I see it twice in your eyes.
If that don’t make me fall in love,
Then life is not enough.
Who put the moon there?
I see it twice in your eyes.
If that don’t make me fall in love,
Then it ain’t much of a life.
[Instrumental Break: Fuzz guitar takes the vocal melody over rolling piano, handclaps and rising three-part harmony.]

[Bridge]
You don’t see what I see.
I don’t see what you do.
Maybe that’s the deal with love:
One eye for me, one eye for you.
Nobody gets the whole thing.
Maybe nobody should.
You tell me when I’m foolish.
I tell you when you look good.

[Breakdown Chorus: Piano, bass and two close voices.]
Who put the moon there?
I see it twice in your eyes.
If that don’t make me fall in love,
Then life is not enough.
Who put the moon there?
I see it twice in your eyes.
If that don’t make me fall in love,
Then it ain’t much of a life.

[Instrumental Build: Drums return beneath sustained harmony, then the whole band crashes back into the hook.]

[Final Chorus x2]
Who put the moon there?
I see it twice in your eyes.
If that don’t make me fall in love,
Then life is not enough.
Who put the moon there?
I see it twice in your eyes.
If that don’t make me fall in love,
Then it ain’t much of a life.

[Outro Instrumental: The voices hold the final phrase while piano, bass and guitar pull apart and finish together.]
