Moonlit Yearning

[Chorus] Oh, when did the moon first gleam? Lost in this mid-autumn dream. I raise my cup, a silent plea, For loved ones far away from me. [Verse] The sky is vast, a velvet sheet, Where ancient stories softly meet. I trace the clouds with weary eyes, Beneath these ever-changing skies. A gentle breeze begins to blow, Whispering secrets, soft and low. [Pre-Chorus] Will we be together soon? Beneath this same celestial moon? This longing in my heart takes flight, Through the long and silent night. [Chorus] Oh, when did the moon first gleam? Lost in this mid-autumn dream. I raise my cup, a silent plea, For loved ones far away from me. [Verse] I wonder where you are tonight, Bathed in the same pale moonlight. Does your heart also ache and yearn? For days that never will return? Each star a memory, clear and bright, Guiding me through this endless night. [Bridge] To sail on a sea of stars so wide, With you forever by my side. But dreams are fragile, light as air, A bittersweet and whispered prayer. [Chorus] Oh, when did the moon first gleam? Lost in this mid-autumn dream. I raise my cup, a silent plea, For loved ones far away from me. [Post-Chorus] Far away, so far away, I wish you were here today. [Outro]
