I had a lot of things on my mind,
lot of words that hadn't been said
Sat down on a cemetery bench to
Seemed to be just me and the moon and he seemed
to be staring me straight in the eye
Was it the words in my head,
looking for a little space
Or did I hear a still small voice com
ing from the big white face
He said, I am the man in the moon,
I will listen till the sun comes up,
all through the cold dark night
I am the man in the moon,
who do you want me to be?
I'll be your friend if you need a friend,
bring your troubles to me
I know you're gonna say that I must be crazy,
that I gotta be crazy to believe
That there's somebody up there somewhere,
God and a freedom of choice
I believe in the power of a light and
the power of a still small voice
Cause when I needed hope,
I looked up to the brilliant sky
I am the man in the moon,
I will listen till the sun comes up,
all through the cold dark night
I am the man in the moon,
who do you want me to be?
I'll be your friend if you need a friend,
bring your troubles to me
The sun comes up and everybody gets
happy giving thanks for a brand new day
I can't wait till the sun goes down
and I hear my new friends say
You can be blue if you want to
Come to me if you don't feel sunny
Everybody needs a little moonlight
I will listen till the sun comes up
All through the cold dark night
Who do you want me to be?
Be a friend if you need a friend,
bring your troubles to me
I am the man in the moon, let me be your light
I will listen till the sun comes up
all through the cold dark night
I am the man in the moon,
who do you want me to be?
Be a friend if you need a friend,
bring your troubles to me
