[Intro]
[Verse]
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
[Interlude]
[Verse]
The crickets called and the moon peeked out to 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]
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
[Outro]
(Repeat twice, slowly fading)
