Moonlight

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
She always has a smile
From morning to the night
The perfect poster child
That was once in my life

[Pre-Chorus]
A doll made out of glass
All her friends think that she’s great
But I can see through it all
And she’s about to break

[Chorus]
Remember last year when you told me
To always stay here and never leave me
The light from your eyes made it feel like
We-e-e were dancing in the moonlight
Remember last year when you told me
That these will be lifelong stories
The light from your eyes made it feel like
We-e-e, we’re dancing in the moonlight

[Post-Chorus]
You-ou-ou were dancing in the moonlight
And I, I, I was dancing in the moonlight

[Verse 2]
Now she lost her way
And she forgets to smile
Never gets a break
From this life in denial

[Pre-Chorus]
A doll made out of glass
All her friends think that she’s great
But I can see through it all
And she’s about to break, oh!

[Chorus]
Remember last year when you told me
To always stay here and never leave me
The light from your eyes made it feel like
We-e-e, were dancing in the moonlight
Remember last year when you told me
That these will be lifelong stories
The light from your eyes made it feel like
We-e-e, were dancing in the moonlight

[Post-Chorus]
You-ou-ou were dancing in the moonlight
And I, I, I was dancing in the moonlight

[Bridge]
I, I, I, miss those me-mo-ries
We used to share
Just you and me

[Chorus]
Remember last year when you told me
To always stay here and never leave me
The light from your eyes made it feel like
We-e-e, were dancing in the moonlight
Remember last year when you told me
That these will be lifelong stories
The light from your eyes made it feel like
We-e-e, were dancing in the moonlight

[Outro]
The light from your eyes made it feel like
Dancing In the moonlight
