[Verse 1] I found a paper cup moon On the floor of the bus Half full of rain And somebody's rush It rolled by my shoe Like it knew my name I picked it up slow Then it slipped away [Pre-Chorus] And I kept thinking That little bright thing Could live in my hand Could be anything [Chorus] Paper cup moon, stay here Paper cup moon, don't fade Paper cup moon, I found you In the middle of the day Paper cup moon, stay here Paper cup moon, okay I keep a small bright miracle Where the mess can't stay [Verse 2] At the corner store By the cracked glass door A kid sold gum And stared at the sky He said, "That looks cheap" Then he laughed out loud But he held out his palm Like he wanted it now [Pre-Chorus] And I kept thinking Some tiny thing Can turn a bad street Into anything [Chorus] Paper cup moon, stay here Paper cup moon, don't fade Paper cup moon, I found you In the middle of the day Paper cup moon, stay here Paper cup moon, okay I keep a small bright miracle Where the mess can't stay [Bridge] Maybe that's the trick Not gold, not grace Just a little light In an ordinary place [Final Chorus] Paper cup moon, stay here Paper cup moon, don't fade Paper cup moon, I found you In the middle of the day Paper cup moon, stay here Paper cup moon, okay I keep a small bright miracle Where the mess can't stay
