Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm an orange moon

I'm an orange moon

Reflecting the light of the sun

[Verse 2]

Many nights he was alone

Many, many, many nights

His light was too bright

So they turned away

And he stood alone

Every night and every day

[Verse 3]

Then he turned to me

He saw his reflection in me

And he smiled at me

When he turned to me

Then he said to me

"How good it is, how good it is

How good it is, how good it is"

[Verse 4]

I'm an orange moon

I'm brighter than before

Brighter than ever before

I'm an orange moon

And I shine so bright

'Cause I reflect the light of my sun

[Verse 5]

Oh I praise the day

He turned my way

And smiled at me

He gets to smile and I get to be orange

Da, da, da, do, dee

[Verse 6]

How good it is, how good it is

How good it is, how good it is

How good it is, how good it is

How good it is, how good he is

[Verse 7]

Shine so bright

He rules the day

I rule the night

Shine, shine, shine

[Verse 8]

How good it is, how good it is

How good it is, how good it is

How good it is, how good it is

How good he is, how God he is

[Verse 9]

How good it is, how good it is

How good he is, how God he is

How good it is, how good it is

How good he is, how God he is

How good it is, how good it is

[Verse 10]

I'm an orange moon

I'm brighter than before

Brighter

[Verse 11]

Reflecting the light of the sun

[Verse 12]

Smiled at me
