The Old Man & the Moon

Once I saw the moon behind the stars He said "night" to the old man on the barge The old man tipped his hat and went to bed Dreaming of the moon behind the stars The old man didn't know it but his dreams were coming true Pretty soon he'll leave the ocean blue And float off on a cloud into the stars He'll land right on the moon beyond the barge Once I saw the old man counting stars Rocking in a chair out on the barge The old man called the moon out from afar Reaching for him with his wooden arm The old man didn't know it but his dreams were coming true Pretty soon he'll leave the ocean blue And float off on a cloud into the stars He'll land right on the moon beyond the barge Just the old man and the moon behind the Don't wait up for luck Keep your head up Sunrise above your darkest days And don't look back to where you came from The old man didn't know it but his dreams were coming true Pretty soon he'll leave the ocean blue And float off on a cloud into the stars He'll land right on the moon beyond the barge He's hanging out with the moon behind the stars Just the old man and the moon behind the stars
