[Verse]
We sat that night beneath the moon.
You made me laugh, you made me swoon.
We walked the streets beneath the lights
and took in all the city sights.
[Verse]
We danced across the playground then,
and played on swings like kids again.
We spoke of love and life and pain;
held hands and ran in the morning rain.
[Chorus]
And then you went away.
You turned your face to hide
like we’d never met at all,
like a shot upon my pride.
And then you went away
like the timid ghost you are:
a flash of light that disappears
like a moment’s shooting star.
[Verse]
We danced alone on an empty street.
Sat on a rooftop for a midnight treat.
We painted pictures in the city park,
Unknowing colors in the nighttime dark.
[Verse]
I sang a song as you strummed on the guitar.
You told me stories that were nothing but bizarre.
We acted crazy when strangers passed us by.
We gave life meaning, together you and I.
[Chorus]
And then you went away.
You turned your face to hide
like we’d never met at all,
like a shot upon my pride.
And then you went away
like the timid ghost you are:
a flash of light that disappears
like a moment’s shooting star.
[Bridge]
You never knew before you closed the door
that for everything you saw, I am so much more.
Inside me there’s a spirit that is burning bright.
Inside me there’s a soul that is taking flight.
[Chorus]
So when you went away
and turned your face to hide,
you never knew that I
would stand here full of pride.
For when you went away
like the timid ghost you are:
I rose up even higher like
a bold and shining star.
[Climax]
I fly on wings of angels
up to the moon at night;
create with so much power
as the sun is shining bright.
Lift up the world around me
with all that I can be.
If only you could hear me now.
If only you could see.
[Outro]
Although you went away
and lost this shining star,
I know the good inside you.
I know everything you are.
So dance beneath the moonlight,
and laugh and paint and sing,
and maybe you will see me
as I rise up on my wings.
We sat that night beneath the moon.
You made me laugh, you made me swoon.
We walked the streets beneath the lights
and took in all the city sights.
[Verse]
We danced across the playground then,
and played on swings like kids again.
We spoke of love and life and pain;
held hands and ran in the morning rain.
[Chorus]
And then you went away.
You turned your face to hide
like we’d never met at all,
like a shot upon my pride.
And then you went away
like the timid ghost you are:
a flash of light that disappears
like a moment’s shooting star.
[Verse]
We danced alone on an empty street.
Sat on a rooftop for a midnight treat.
We painted pictures in the city park,
Unknowing colors in the nighttime dark.
[Verse]
I sang a song as you strummed on the guitar.
You told me stories that were nothing but bizarre.
We acted crazy when strangers passed us by.
We gave life meaning, together you and I.
[Chorus]
And then you went away.
You turned your face to hide
like we’d never met at all,
like a shot upon my pride.
And then you went away
like the timid ghost you are:
a flash of light that disappears
like a moment’s shooting star.
[Bridge]
You never knew before you closed the door

Inside me there’s a spirit that is burning bright.
Inside me there’s a soul that is taking flight.

I know everything you are.
So dance beneath the moonlight,
and laugh and paint and sing,
and maybe you will see me
