Moon Song

Bob Schneider · Lonelyland [2001]

I like the sun

When it shines

On the moon

At night



I like the way

The way that you smile

When you feel

Just right



La la la la



I like the wind

When it blows

Me close

To you



I like the way

That you hold

Me the way

You do



La la la la



I like the way

That you say

That you'll always

Stay



I like the sun

When it shines

On the moon

This way

It remains a notable piece for listeners appreciating the nuanced songwriting and genre-defying approach that characterizes Schneider's broader body of work during this creative period.
