The Same Moon
Maureen McGovern · State Of The Heart [1988]
Soon, the city will awaken,
And I haven't slept at all
Just another silent night
Waiting for your call
A few hours ago, you were here with me
Now, the love we made is just a memory
You're home in a city where I've never been
When will I see you again?
But the same moon shines upon you
Though you're half a world away
And the same stars gleam above you
Make a wish...what will you say?
The same earth turns beneath you
And the same sun lights your way
And the same dream lives inside us
We'll be together someday
Now, my body feels so empty
Since you carried off my heart
Oh, how can we go on
Living far apart?
Rain keeps falling on the streets below
There's nothing lonelier than when you go
I'm alone with my thoughts and wondering when,
When will this night ever end?
But the same moon shines upon you
Though you're half a world away
And the same stars gleam above you
Make a wish...what will you say?
The same earth turns beneath you
And the same sun lights your way
And the same dream lives inside us
We'll be together
We'll be together
We'll be together someday
And I haven't slept at all
Just another silent night
Waiting for your call
A few hours ago, you were here with me
Now, the love we made is just a memory
You're home in a city where I've never been
When will I see you again?
But the same moon shines upon you
Though you're half a world away
And the same stars gleam above you
Make a wish...what will you say?
The same earth turns beneath you
And the same sun lights your way
And the same dream lives inside us
We'll be together someday
Now, my body feels so empty
Since you carried off my heart
Oh, how can we go on
Living far apart?
Rain keeps falling on the streets below
There's nothing lonelier than when you go
I'm alone with my thoughts and wondering when,
When will this night ever end?
But the same moon shines upon you
Though you're half a world away
And the same stars gleam above you
Make a wish...what will you say?
The same earth turns beneath you
And the same sun lights your way
And the same dream lives inside us
We'll be together
We'll be together
We'll be together someday
