You paint the night with borrowed light, a beauty not your own
But I see the way you shine up there, you don't need to be shown
I've loved you since the very first time I saw you rise
While I was setting in the west with twilight in my eyes

Pre-Chorus:
And I need you more tonight
And I need you more forever
And I'm chasing you and chasing you
And we will never, ever, ever be together...

Chorus:
And once upon a time there was a sun who loved a moon
He ran across the heavens but she always vanished soon
And we never get to hold each other, never ever get to touch
And I've been chasing you so long, I've missed you oh so much

Verse 2:
I hear the poets writing songs about my morning light
They say I chase away the dark and make the world so bright
But they don't know I'm looking for your fading silhouette
The one that disappears each time that we have ever met

The lovers watch me set and know that you'll be here tonight
They think it's just the way things are, the day gives way to night
But I could tell them stories of a love that cannot be
A sun who fell in love with a moon across the sea of galaxies

Pre-Chorus:
And I need you more tonight
And I need you more forever
And I'm chasing you and chasing you
And we will never, ever, ever be together...

Chorus:
And once upon a time there was a sun who loved a moon
He ran across the heavens but she always vanished soon
And we never get to hold each other, never get to touch
And I've been chasing you so long, I've missed you oh so much

(Key change - big dramatic power ballad moment)

Bridge:
But then one day the Maker watched us dancing in the blue
Saw how every soul on Earth found hope when they saw you
The farmers in the field would pray for my warm embrace
And lonely hearts would find their peace in your mysterious face

He saw the way my light made things grow strong and tall
He saw the way your gentle glow would soothe the ones who call
And He said "My children need to know that love can find a way
That even the most distant hearts can have their special day"

"So once in every season, when the time is finally right
I'll bring my two most faithful stars together in the night
They'll stand before the world and show them what it means to be
A love that spans the universe for all the world to see"

(Music swells - choir joins in)

Final Chorus:
AND NOW AND THEN WE MEET AGAIN, A MOMENT IN THE SKY!
THE WORLD LOOKS UP AND WONDERS AS MY SHADOW REACHES HIGH!
WE FINALLY GET TO HOLD EACH OTHER, FINALLY WE TOUCH!
A DARK AND BEAUTIFUL EMBRACE, I'VE WAITED FOR SO MUCH!

AND ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A SUN WHO LOVED A MOON!
HE WAITED FOR THE MOMENT WHEN THEY'D FINALLY BE IN TUNE!
AND NOW AND THEN THE MAKER LETS OUR LIGHT BECOME AS ONE
A PERFECT MOMENT IN THE SKY, THE ECLIPSE HAS JUST BEGUN!

(Soft outro)

And for just a little while... we're together...
Just a little while... in the perfect weather...
Sun and moon... forever...
Forever... in the dark light... together...

(Final gentle note, held to silence)

Verse 1: Every morning I wake up and chase you across the sky I've been following your silver glow for centuries going by You're always just ahead of me, a step beyond my grasp I reach out with my golden rays but you slip through fast You paint the night with borrowed light, a beauty not your own But I see the way you shine up there, you don't need to be shown I've loved you since the very first time I saw you rise While I was setting in the west with twilight in my eyes Pre-Chorus: And I need you more tonight And I need you more forever And I'm chasing you and chasing you And we will never, ever, ever be together...
