I sat outside one afternoon
In an old lawn chair
And I watched the sun set off
For
business West somewhere
While the sky turned watercolor pink
And gold and blue
And the
stars all showed up one by one
And we waited for the moon
And I thought 'bout you and I
wondered why
It took so long to say goodbye
You shined so bright you blinded me
And left
me so I couldn't see
Chorus:
I was the moon chasing the sun
There was never a prayer of
ever catching up
No matter how fast I would run
Like the moon chasing the sun
Just like
the moon chasing the sun
The crickets called
And the moon peeked out of the Eastern
sky
They both start up about this time each night
And an evening breeze stopped by
And
brought some sweet relief
In the silver light I finally let go of the heat
And I thought
'bout you and I wondered why
It took so long to say goodbye
You shined so bright you blinded
me
And left me so I couldn't see
Chorus
