Hang The Moon

Intro: If our lives were a movie I'd know what to do I'd write every scene with my heart An R.K.O. Picture that stars me and you And this time I'd learn my part I'd paint you some scenery We'd sing, and we'd dance From morning to late afternoon And when that scene is done Then I'd take down the sun And for you darling, I'll hang the moon We'd wake up to sunshine Like lights on a set You'd reach out and there'd be my hand All day there'd be music, a perfect duet That flows from the white baby grand At night when you're frightened I'll play you to sleep That melody from Clair de Lune. And to fill up the sky, Past the clouds I would fly, And for you darling, I'll hang the moon. Hang the moon forever So you'd never fear the darkness The darkness I've known Moon, protect Norma Jean So that she'll never be alone Never alone If our lives were a movie Then you'd be the star 'Cause now I know the role I should play To applaud all you do All the things that you are And just be there on opening day I know in the past That the lines were all wrong And the music was never in tune But the wish that I make is for just one more take Because then darling I'll hang the moon I'll hang the moon above you So that you'll never fear the darkness The darkness of night Then you'll know I love you Each time that you feel the light Feel the light If our lives were a movie Then I'd cut away All the moments when I wasn't there The scenes that are happy Are all that will stay The rest will dissolve into air As the final reel ends We might both shed a tear For the ending is coming up soon But when the screen fades to black We can smile and look back And for you darling I'll hang the moon
