Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Standing on the moon, I got no cobweb on my shoe
Standing on the moon, and I'm feeling so alone and blue
See the Gulf of Mexico, tiny as a tear
The coast of California must be somewhere over here, over here
[Verse 2]
Standing on the moon, I see the battle rage below
Standing on the moon, see the soldiers come and go
There's a metal flag beside me someone planted long ago
Old Glory standing stiffly, crimson, white, and indigo
Indigo
[Bridge]
I see all of Southeast Asia, I can see El Salvador
Hear the cries of children, and the other songs of war
Like a mighty melody rings down from the sky
Standing here upon the moon, well, I watch it all roll by, all roll by
All roll by, all roll by
[Verse 3]
Standing on the moon, I see a shadow on the sun
Standing on the moon, the stars go fading one by one
Hear a cry of victory, another of defeat
A scrap of age-old lullaby down some forgotten street
Forgotten street
[Verse 4]
Standing on the moon, where talk is cheap, vision true
Standing on the moon, but I would rather be with you
Somewhere in San Francisco on a back porch in July
Oh, just looking up to Heaven, this crescent in the sky, in the sky
[Verse 5]
Standing on the moon, nothing left to do
A lovely view of Heaven, but I'd rather be with you
A lovely view of Heaven, I'd rather be with you, be with you
Be with you, be with you
Be with you, be with you
Be with you, be with you
Be with you, be with you
[Outro]
Be with you, be with you
Be with you, be with you
Be with you, be with you
Be with you
Be with you, be with you
Be with you
