Alone this night and you’re far away
Whether I whisper or shout, you’ll never hear me say…
You’re there I’m here
Though it’s strange, I feel you near
Will you come quickly, it won’t be too soon
But at least tonight we’re under the same moon
She is perfectly shining and gorgeous tonight
The orb beckons me to bathe in its light
Selene she whispers and tells me gently
From where she is, she sees you, she sees me
So now I look upon that disc in the sky
She told me to look now I see why
Because tonight, for me, she mirrors not the sun’s rays
Tonight for me she reflected your face.
