**[Verse 1 – Soft Piano, Acoustic Guitar]** O moon, bright moon, Stay a little longer tonight Don’t hide behind the clouds, Come shine your light on me Somewhere beneath your silver glow, I wonder if you think of me A quiet longing I could never say I send it drifting through the night **[Pre-Chorus – Warm Strings, Gentle Build]** As the round moon slowly rises, Something fills this empty heart When I close my eyes and fold my hands, Even distant roads don’t seem so far **[Chorus – Emotional Vocal, Full Strings]** O moon, bright moon, Carry my heart across the sky If I follow where your light leads, Will it bring me to their side? Nothing more, nothing less, Just grant me this one night Let me see that face once more, Lay down a road of silver light **[Interlude]** **[Verse 2 – Piano, Acoustic Guitar, Subtle Cello]** Moonlight breaks upon the river, Scattering into silver pieces And when I follow where they shimmer, I hear a heart I cannot reach The seasons may keep turning, But don’t let this feeling fade If waiting can still be called love, Then here I’ll stay, just the same **[Pre-Chorus – Rising Piano, Strings]** I hold a little moonlight And softly whisper your name Between two hearts so far apart, The night becomes a bridge So even without a single word, You might somehow understand I’ll set my heart upon the moonlight And let it find you where you are **[Chorus – Emotional Vocal, Full Strings]** O moon, bright moon, Carry my heart across the sky If I follow where your light leads, Will it bring me to their side? Nothing more, nothing less, Just grant me this one night Let me see that face once more, Lay down a road of silver light **[Outro – Soft Piano, Fading Strings]** O moon, bright moon, Stay a little longer tonight Deep within my quiet heart, Shine their face back into the light
