Everybody Gets To Go To The Moon - Thelma Houston

How many times have I been downhearted

Looked up and saw him smiling like a shiny dime

And wished that he would stay and tell me

Why he was so happy, if he had the time

And wished there was a way to race him

Catch a flying horse and chase him

Everybody gets to go to the moon, yeah

Everybody gets to go, it’ll be quite soon

It’s customary in songs like this, to use the word like «spoon»

By the light of the silvery

We’ll take a flight to the silvery

You know, everybody’s going to th moon

How many times while looking down

Has he heard us singing songs, and wondered who we were

And envied us, because the lady in the moon is gone

And now he misses her

And wondered to himself why is it no one ever pays a visit

Everybody gets to go to the moon, oh yeah

Everybody gets to go, it’ll be quite soon

It’s customary in songs like this, to use a month like June

By the light of the silvery

We’ll take a flight to the silvery

You know, everybody’s going to the moon

Isn’t it a miracle, that we’re the generation

Who will touch that shiny bubble

With our own two hands

It has to make you glad to be alive

Yes, it has to make you proud to be a man

A man, a man…

How many times have I heard a cynic

Say I was a fool to try and reach for him

Or heard a dreamer say «the sky’s the limit»

And had to laugh at each for him

Oh, I suppose the point is only

That an old friend is no longer lonely

Everybody gets to go to the moon, oh yes

Everybody gets to go, it’ll be quite soon

It’s customary in songs like this, to use a word like «moon»

By the light of the silvery

We’ll take a flight to the silvery

You know, everybody’s going… to the moon

To the silvery moon

Oh, how I wanna spoon

With my honey, and croon love’s tune

Honey moon, you’ll be shining in June, yes you will

Your silvery beams will make love dreams

Will be coming soon

By the silvery moon…
