From the recording Outside the Lines
Lyrics
Birds don't fly after dark, my dear--that's a bat.
But they should not give you any fear--did you know that?
They use their ears to catch mosquitoes that fly and try to bite
The chase goes on while you are sleeping, every summer night
Under the moon
The beautiful moon
The moon, the beautiful moon
Do you hear that chatter up in the trees?
That's the sound of the frogs, though it might seem hard to believe
Nature's nocturnal chorus singing here in the backyard
What different voices can you hear if you listen really hard?
Under the moon
The beautiful moon
The moon, the beautiful moon
The heat of the day starts to fade away
And the air gets cool
You can stay up a little later
Tomorrow there's no school
Stretch out here on the grass--lay down your head
If you should fall asleep, I will carry you to bed
The stars look different tonight than they did last December
A few weeks more, they'll be different again by September
The leaves will go from green to gold, and they'll start to fall
Through the change of the seasons, la luna sees it all
Under the moon
The beautiful moon
The moon, the beautiful moon
I see the moon, the moon sees me
The moon sees somebody I want to see
God bless the moon, and God bless me
And God bless the somebody I want to see.
