Dorothy Jane

I’ve watched you in the window as you spoke to the Man in the Moon
Wishing I had someone as interesting to talk to as you
With your light southern drawl and your innocent love
Of the simple things, small, private, and yours alone
If only I could be as close to you as the Man in the Moon
In the quiet things that no one ever knows
As we tell ourselves the tales of ordinary days
I dream of you with the Man in the Moon
Sitting together at night by your window
Sharing our stories, our thoughts and our dreams
Hoping that someone out there is listening to us
As we profess a love beyond ourselves
Into the night's sky, never to be forgotten
