TAKE THE MOON DOWN FROM THE SKY
©Billy O'Dwyer Bob 2007

Now you know I never ever like to see you cry
And it always breaks my heart to see you sad
And you know that when I see you there, feeling down and blue
And there's nothing I can do, and that makes me mad.

Now you know it does the world of good to see you smile
Delight to see that twinkle in your eyes
And baby, yes it's true, I'd do anything for you
And I'd gladly take the moon down from the sky.

Now you know that I've had feelings for you so long now
So obvious the blindest man can see
And you know when it's just me and you, I get so very shy
But there's nowhere else on earth I'd rather be.

And you know that when you leave me, how I feel so all alone
It hurts so much that I could surely die
And baby, yes it's true, I'd do anything for you
And I'd gladly take the moon down from the sky.

Now you know that I've been wanting you to say that you'll be mine
And that someday soon you'll surely take my hand
And we'll buy ourselves a little house, and we'll finally settle down
With a porch and picket fence, now nothing grand.

And we'll have ourselves a little babe to bounce on daddy's knee
And we'll sit up there and watch the world go by
And baby, yes it's true, I'd do anything for you
And I'd gladly take the moon down from the sky.

So you see what I've been saying, I've been thinking for a while
And the only explanation I've come to
Is that it's simple straight arithmetic, and when you write it down,
When added, one and one makes me and you.

Now I've seen the way you look at me, and I know you sure are fine
And I'll love you 'til the very day I die
And baby, yes it's true, I'd do anything for you
And I'd gladly take the moon down from the sky
And baby, yes it's true, I'd do anything for you
And I'd gladly take the moon down from the sky!
