[00:22.49] You say you wanna see the moon
[00:25.47] Outside of our living room
[00:28.30] Over the Manhattan sky
[00:31.95] Like we saw last night
[00:33.62] You don't understand where she's gone
[00:37.24] When the morning comes
[00:39.02] And I promise you she'll be back tonight
[00:42.06] We'll find her and we'll say goodnight
[00:50.33] So you look for her in the books we read
[00:53.03] In the shadows curve you show her to me
[00:55.81] When the sun goes down and she's there again
[00:58.91] Brighter now, your brand new friend
[01:01.77] And for me the skyline's changed
[01:04.57] Same old buildings rearranged
[01:07.19] The sky's a richer shade of blue
[01:10.23] And the moon's my new friend too
[01:15.55] I used to travel in a straight line
[01:18.53] Now I'm walking on a road that winds
[01:21.11] You take my hand and we take our time
[01:25.31] We take our time
[01:39.05] The moon shines on our half of the sky
[01:42.17] And on the half that you left behind
[01:44.66] When it's nighttime here, it's morning there
[01:47.39] But the moon in the same everywhere
[01:50.13] While I'm singing you a lullaby
[01:52.88] Someone's waking up on the other side
[01:55.99] The moon shining on her too
[01:58.74] She'll see it and she'll think of you
[02:01.23] She'll think of you
[02:04.26] I used to travel in a straight line
[02:07.19] Now I'm walking on a road that winds
[02:09.77] You take my hand and we take our time
[02:13.89] We take our time
[02:19.95] You hear music in everything
[02:22.39] The rain's a drum
[02:23.74] The traffic sings
[02:25.37] I listen too and I dance along
[02:28.05] We keep on dancing when the music's gone
[02:35.26]
[02:58.82] I used to travel in a straight line
[03:01.85] Now I'm walking on a road that winds
[03:04.39] You take my hand and we take our time
[03:08.48] We take our time
[03:09.91] I used to travel in a straight line
[03:12.93] Now I'm walking on a road that winds
[03:15.54] You take my hand and we take our time
[03:19.54] We take our time
[03:21.84] We take our time
[03:26.90] Oh we take our time
