Shoot for the moon

Roger Whittaker · Awakening [2000]

Roger:

Here we are its two am

and we're close enough to touch.

There it is waiting to be said.

But no one saying much.



Lene:

The lights are low

and candles glow around your angle eyes.



Roger:

I think you know,



Together:

these feelings for each other

really come as no surprise.



Togeter:

We can shoot for the moon.

Maybe we got to come in.

If we shoot for the moon,

maybe we'll win the running.



Lene:

We can live all allowed fantasies

or stay in the way we are.



Together:

But if we shoot for the moon

The world still happen.

These we'll fall among the stars.



Lene:

Here we go caught up in the moment,

wishing it would last.



Together:

There we go trailing at the speed of love

and falling fast.

Take my heart hold it close and tread it like a friend.

Take my hand maybe we'll get lucky

and tonight will never end.



Together:

We can shoot for the moon.

Maybe we got to come in.

If we shoot for the moon,

maybe we'll win the running.

We can live all allowed fantasies

or stay in the way we are.

But if we shoot for the moon

The world still happen.

These we'll fall among the stars. . .



Roger:

. . . are not a bad place you will find.



Together:

They may not give around much

with they sure know how to shine,

how to shine.



Together:

We can shoot for the moon.

Maybe we got to come in.

If we shoot for the moon,

maybe we'll win the running.

We can live all allowed fantasies

or stay in the way we are.

But if we shoot for the moon

The world still happen.

These we'll fall among the stars. . .



Together:

Among the stars.

Among the stars.

Among the stars.

Mmmh. . .ooh. . .
