Walkin' On the Moon - Tom Russell, Eliza Gilkyson

The lights of the town were just shutting down

The sun was fresh on the rise

I met momma at the door, she’d been walking the floor

She said, «Boy, you’ve got stars in your eyes»

And momma, I was walking on the moon last night

And two loving arms held me tight

As the stars danced around so bright

I was walking on the moon last night

Now momma she did weep

«Boy you’ve been walking in your sleep

You can’t keep your feet on the ground

It’s not always what it seems

Young love may be a dream

And some angels fly high just to fall down»

But momma, I was walking on the moon last night

And two loving arms held me tight

As the stars danced around so bright

I was walking on the moon last night

Now the lights of the town are glowing yellow brown

The moon is beginning to rise and I left momma at the door

I said, «Don't worry any more

I’ve seen daddy put those same stars in your eyes»

And momma, I’ll be walking on the moon tonight

And two loving arms will hold me tight

As the stars dance around so bright

I’ll be walking on the moon tonight

And I’ll be walking on the moon tonight

And two loving arms will hold me tight

As the stars dance around so bright

I’ll be walking on the moon tonight
