I wrote this while on a business trip
by hot, muggy moonlight. This was,
is and always will be for Sharon.

Like a fool I'm singin' to the sky
I'm not honestly expecting a reply
But like a fool here I sit, and here is why:
    I'm so lonesome, like the man said, I could cry...

        I don't know, maybe I thought this song would bounce right off the moon
        Somehow finding its sweet way to your ear
        I don't know, I guess I was hopin' you might hear this little tune playin'
        Sayin' how I wish you were here...

Like a bird I'm wingin' through the sky
I'm not understandin' all the reasons why
But like a fool here I go again: Good-bye
    I'm so lonely, like the man said, I could die...

        I don't know, maybe I thought this song would bounce right off the moon
        Somehow finding its sweet way to your ear
        I don't know, I guess I was hopin' you might hear this little tune playin'
        Sayin' how I miss you, my dear...

        I don't know, maybe I thought this song would bounce right off the moon
        Somehow finding its sweet way to your ear
        I don't know, I guess I was hopin' you might hear this little tune playin'
        Sayin' how I wish you were here...
