Moon River

Sitting at the window sill,

Counting days spent without you until . . .

Today I watch the moon gazing down upon me,

wondering why I look so blue . . .

He shines his shimmer
hoping I'd gleam at him a little
Not an ounce of mercy I spare

He then splashes at me,
some water from his river

Yet the blues wont go away

I sit gazing at him
only looking at something else,

off sunny times,

It's the day we slept under the moon

clasped in love-filled embrac

The moon tonight
I've lost its sight

for you are not here . . .

to hug me, caress me, gently kiss me

While I feel your warmth, breath and skipping of your heart beat

It's easy to say that I am longing for you

while each second is a penance

You want me to bask in the glory of the moonlight

All alone . . .

Which I do . . .

But I only feel it's chilly windy blue

I know there will come one day
You and I will walk again

down the river side

and you'll embrace my love again

As we walk by the Moon River.
