[Intro] [acoustic guitar strumming in 4/4] [Verse 1] [male baritone vocals enter] There's a lonely ol' moon up in the sky tonight The stars have all gone out, he's the only light Staring down on this earth in bitter delight Knowing he'll never know her, but wishing he might [Chorus] And I know what it's like To be the man in the moon 'Cause I get that same feeling each time She walks in the room I want to reach out to her, yeah But I know it's no use Such a lonely existence to be Like the man in the moon [Verse 2] How I wish I were Jupiter or Neptune or Mars 'Cause that's the kind of man who could win her heart But I'm just a moon in this sky full of stars So close to my heaven, so near yet so far [Chorus] And I know what it's like To be the man in the moon 'Cause I get that same feeling each time She walks in the room Want to reach out to her But I know it's no use Such a lonely existence to be Like the man in the moon [Bridge] [guitar continues steady strumming] [Verse 3] Her heavenly body is etched in my mind I'd follow her lead through all space and time Bound to her by forces that I can't deny I wish I could turn, but I can't even try [Chorus] And I know what it's like To be the man in the moon 'Cause I get that same feeling each time She walks in the room Want to reach out to her But I know it's no use Such a lonely existence to be Like the man in the moon [Outro] Such a lonely existence to be me Or the man in the moon [guitar final strum and ring out]
