Blue on Blue

I wish you were here to see the moon with me
Tonight my dream-lover from over the sea
I could never begin to describe aright
This refraction this diffusion of the light
As haloed by gold clouds wreathed by silver mist
The moon becomes a daring aerialist

Riding the clouds and thrilling the crowds all night
Surfing the sky and rising as high as dawn
Till merging with the greater light it is gone

But it has only disappeared from my eyes
To rise in glory there when it is day here
To delight other eyes in faraway skies
And when it is far from me it will be near
Two true blue eyes of love right there above you
To dance for you reminding you I love you

Blue on blue to bind us two
By a third the moon and you
And I: blue on blue on blue
