Just like the moon

I sat outside one afternoon
In an old lawn chair
And I watched the sun set off
For business west somewhere
While the sky turned watercolor fine
And gold and blue
And the stars all showed up one by one
And we waited for the moon

And I thought bout you and I wondered why
It took so long to say goodbye
You shined so bright you blinded me
And left me so I couldnt see

(CHORUS)
I was the moon chasing the sun
There was never a prayer of ever catching up
No matter how fast I would run
Like the moon chasing the sun
Just like the moon chasing the sun

The crickets called
And the moon peeked out to the eastern sky
They both start up about this time each night
And an evening breeze stopped by
And brought some sweet relief
In the silver light I finally let go of the heat

And I thought bout you and I wondered why
It took so long to say goodbye
You shined so bright you blinded me
And left me so I couldnt see

(CHORUS)
