Lyrics

Moon in the mirror
Won't you stay a while tonight?
All things of beauty
Are too soon out of sight
I know it's a selfish plea;
You must light the hearts of more than me
There's a girl at her window;
Now she's trying to catch your eye
But oh, pretty stranger
You must keep on passing by
Moon in the mirror, I don't know you;
Just a reflection of kisses
And whispers and indigo skies
Moon in the mirror, look below you
Moon's looking back and they're loving
And longing and telling no lies
Moon in the mirror
I will ask you one more time
Not for a reason and not for a rhyme
But please tell me if you can
Have you seen a moonlit man?
He's so very like you
You could see him from afar
Perhaps he's a misplaced moonbeam
Or a banished star
Moon in the mirror, he's so like you
Light up the room for an hour;
A smile or the beat of my heart
Oh, how my heart tried to fight him
Fight against mirrors of moonlight
Or lovelight. you lost from the start
From the start
