Lyrics[]

Out of the darkness you suddenly appeared,
You smiled and I was taken by surprise.
I guess I should have seen right through you
But the moon got in my eyes.

I was so thrilled by the love you volunteered,
I gave my love without a compromise.
I guess you don't remember do you?
When the moon got in my eyes.

I thought a kingdom was in sight
That I would have the right to claim,
But with the morning's early light
I didn't have a dream to my name.

You know the saying that all who love are blind;
It seems that ancient adage still applies.
I guess I should have seen right through you,
But the moon got in my eyes.
