(3/4 time) 
 
(Chorus) 
   G5                         G5
If I was the man in the moon  
    C5             D5        G5
I'd shine down my light for you 
     C5       D5         G5             E5
Each silvery beam would caress you in dreams 
        A5                       D5  D5
Like my two loving arms used to do  
    G5                         G5
I'd watch over you every night 
C5         D5          G5
Never too late or too soon 
    C5         D5
But always on time 
   G5                E5
My love light would shine 
   A5         D5         G5
If I was the man in the moon 
D5 
 
G5                                     G5
Some say it's better to love and then lose 
     C5     D5            G5
Than never have loved at all 
     D5                 G5              E5
It's hard to return the love that once burned 
       A5                       D5      D5
To the cold lonely world where nobody calls 

(Repeat Chorus)2 bar break  
 
I'm only a phone call away from your voice 
But our lives have grown so far apart 
I'd have less resistance way up in the distance 
Sending my love light straight into your heart 
 
(Repeat Chorus)(end with) 
But always on time 
My lovelight would shine 
If I was the man in the moon
