Come child and sit down beside me
sit by the warmth of the fire
the glow of moonlight on this cold winter's night
reminds me of a time of desire

I'll tell you a tale of a young girl
whose presence would light up any room
her voice filled the air with a music so rare
and her eyes shone like the moon

CHORUS
don't try to capture a moonbeam
it's like trying to touch the sun
it will shine in your heart then quickly depart
into daylight or clouds it will run

oh how I fell for that young girl
as she sang and she shone through the crowd
though times were hard she kept us from the cold
like the sun when it shines through a cloud

she told me she loved and adored me
and that we would live in such style
she lay in my bed when I asked her to wed
and she sang through the eyes of a child

but still I married my moonbeam
and she did try so hard to shine
but she cried for a stage from the bars of her cage
and I knew she would never stay mine

so I let go of my moonbeam
and with a tear it flew off with the night
but I know in her way she still loves me this day
and I still feel the warmth of her light

so child one day when you meet her
I beg you don't turn her away
we are all we can be as you're all to me
and we're only alive for this day

sometimes at night I can see now
your eyes shine like hers did then
though I love you so I won't want you to go
but when it's time I will sing once again
