On This Side of the Moon

(Mark Alan Springer)



Some folks look through telescopes

And dream of flying high above the sky

And they say it won't be long

Till we can hope a ship to mars.



Well, I'm just a simple man

There's a lot that I don't know

But as long as you're here with me

I'd just as soon stay home.



On this side of the moon

Things are goin' my way

Your love keeps shinin' through

Even when it rains.



There's no where else I'd rather be

I'm happy standin' here in these shoes

With you here in my life the world is lookin' bright

On this side of the moon.

(Spoken)

Well, sometimes on a clear night

We pull up a chair out in the yard.



(Sang)

I'm always amazed

At the good Lord who made so many stars

And I know I'd feel out of place

Strolling through the milky way

Aw, you must thank the astronauts

I think I'd rather stay.



On this side of the moon

Things are goin' my way

Your love keeps shinin' through

Even when it rains.



There's no where else I'd rather be

I'm happy standin' here in these shoes

With you here in my life the world is lookin' bright

On this side of the moon.



With you here in my life

The world keeps look in' bright

On this side of the moon...
