Lyrics

The Sun And The Moon And The Stars

One subtle look

God help me

Is all it took

To sell me

One single word

Unspoken

Your name unheard

And I'm broken

The sun and the moon

and the stars in the sky are laughing

They've seen it all before

For the wind in the trees

and the waves on the seas

It's the same thing

They can't take any more

One gentle touch

and I'm helpless

It's all too much

For my senses

One simple prayer

Denied me

When you're not there

Beside me

The sun and the moon

and the stars in the sky are laughing

They've seen it all before

For the wind in the trees

And the waves on the seas

It's the same thing

They can't take any more
