He loves the dawn But I am the night And I bet he wants Something beautiful, simple and bright But I think too much I love like I’m dying And I come and go like the moon, like the moon My face shows when I’m lying And I may not burn like some I’ll bathe him in silver light And when the sunset comes I’ll be loving him, loving him all through the night There was a time Many in fact They called me sunshine But only my mother knows that A kiss on his shoulder His chest and his hands And he talks so funny So I’d kiss his mouth and be sunshine again, but just for him And I may not burn like some I’ll bathe him in silver light And when the sunset comes I’ll be loving him, loving him all through the night And oh his laughter I still hear it thirty midnights after But I just can’t confess Oh I know I’m in over my head And I know he knows that I know he knows That he is the sun, but I am the moon Hung like a ghost in the sky when it’s day and he’s lighting me too But he is no fool, he’s sees I’m a mess So I’ll blame these unsteady hands on the wine when we dance, nonetheless And I’ll never burn like some But I’ll let him shine so bright He’ll know when morning comes I’ve been loving him, loving him all through the night All through the night, all through the night
