Lyrics
A pale new moon, a sky of blue
And here am I, but where are you?
A dream of love would soon come true
If I could reach the moon and you
Chorus
The moon and you appear to be
So near and yet so far from me
And here am I on a night in June
Reaching for the moon and you
I wonder if we’ll ever meet
My song of love is incomplete
I’m just the words looking for the tune
Reaching for the moon and you
Performance
