Moon In The Mirror

Joni Mitchell · Other Songs - Joni Mitchell

Moon in the mirror, won't you stay awhile tonight?

All things of beauty are too soon out of sight

I know it's a selfish plea, you must light the hearts of more than me

There's a girl at her window, now she's trying to catch your eye

But oh, pretty stranger, you must keep on passing by



Moon in the mirror, I don't know you

Just a reflection of kisses and whispers and indigo skies

Moon in the mirror, look below you

Moon's looking back and they're loving and longing and telling no lies



Moon in the mirror, I will ask you one more time

Not for a reason and not for a rhyme

But please tell me if you can, have you seen a moonlit man?

He's so very like you, you could see him from afar

Perhaps he's misplaced moonbeam or a banished star



Moon in the mirror, he's so like you

Light up the room for an hour, a smile or the beat of my heart

Oh, how my heart tried to fight him, fight against mirrors

Of moonlight or love light, you're lost from the start, from the start
