Select language to translate this lyric
The lights were burning low and Mr. Midnight made his way
Old father time had trudged along to close another day
The old clock ticked and seemed to say your heart is sad and blue
But just remember pal, there's others broken too
I told the moon it was so hard to play love's losing hand
When you thought you drew a sweetheart, she was just a fickle friend
Don't mind my tears, remember there's still a million hearts in bloom
So keep on shining though I'm pining silv'ry moon
The trade winds brought a message in from far across the sea
They said they saw the silver sails that carried you from me
They told me you were drifting on upon an endless tide
And lonely seagulls hovered o'er you as you cried
If I could send a message on the crest of every wave
They'd take you my forgiveness and two broken hearts we'd save
But instead I'll ask each little star to guide your ship back home
So keep on shining though I'm pining sil'vry moon
