Listen to It's Only a Paper Moon (.AU Format)

I never feel a thing is real when I'm away from you Out of your embrace, the world's a temporary parking place MMMMM, A bubble for a minute You smile, the Bubble has a rainbow in it Say it's only a paper moon sailing over a cardboard sea But it wouldn't be make believe if you believed in me Yes it's only a canvass sky hanging over a muslin tree But it wouldn't be make believe if you believed in me Without your love, it's a honky-tonk parade Without your love, it's a melody played in a penny arcade It's a Barnum and Bailey world, just as phony as it can be But it wouldn't be make believe if you believed in me

Moondance

Listen to Moon Dance (Midi Format)

Well, it's a marvelous night for a Moondance With the stars up above in your eyes A fantabulous night to make romance 'Neath the cover of October skies And all the leaves on the trees are falling To the sound of the breezes that blow And I'm trying to please to the calling Of your heart-strings that play soft and low And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush CHORUS: Can I just have one a' more Moondance with you, my love Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love Well, I wanna make love to you tonight I can't wait 'til the morning has come And I know that the time is just right And straight into my arms you will run And when you come my heart will be waiting To make sure that you're never alone There and then all my dreams will come true, dear There and then I will make you my own And every time I touch you, you just tremble inside And I know how much you want me that you can't hide CHORUS Repeat 1st Verse One more Moondance with you in the moonlight On a magic night La, la, la, la in the moonlight On a magic night Can't I just have one more dance with you my love

Everyone's Gone to The Moon

Listen to Everyone's Gone to The Moon (Midi Format)

Streets full of people, all alone Rows full of houses, never home Church full of singing, out of tune Everyone's gone to the moon Eyes full of sorrow, never wet Hands full of money, all in debt Sun disappears in the middle of June Everyone's gone to the moon Long time ago, life had begun Everyone went to the Sun Hearts full of motors, painted green Mouths full of chocolate-covered cream Hands that can only lift a spoon Everyone's gone to the moon Everyone's gone to the moon Everyone's gone to the moon........

Carolina Moon, keep shining, Shining on the one who waits for me, Carolina Moon, I'm pining, Pining for the place I long to be, How I'm hoping tonight, you'll go, Go to the right window, Scatter your light, say I'm alright, please do, Tell her that I'm blue and lonely, Dreamy Carolina Moon.

Moonlight and Roses

Moonlight and roses, bring wonderful memories of you, My heart reposes, in beautiful thoughts so true, June light discloses, love's golden dreams sparkling a-new, Moonlight and Roses, brings memories of you.

Listen to Tubas in the Moonlight (True Speech Format)

Through the twilight, I can hear the humming of a melancholy coon. (mm-mm) For the memories that still linger, I thank you mister Moon. And, although I've never smiled, Winter, summer, autumn too, Now here's one tune to remind me why I feel so blue-oo... Tubas in the moonlight, playing for me all night, Tell me what I want to hear. Am I only dreaming? Am I only scheming? Stars above me, shining brightly. Why can't she be sitting here beside me? Tubas in the moonlight will bring my loved one home. (Instrumental Verses) Tubas in the moonlight will bring my loved one home.

Oh, I'm being followed by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow... Leapin and a hoppin' on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow... And if I ever lose my hands, lose my plough, lose my land, Oh if I ever lose my hands, Oh if I ever lose my hands, lose my plough, lose my land I won't have to work no more.

And if I ever lose my mouth, all my teeth, north and south, Yes if I ever lose my mouth, Oh if I ever lose my mouth, all my teeth north and south, I won't have to talk... Did it take long to find me? I ask the faithful light. Did it take long to find me? And are you gonna stay the night? Oh, I'm being followed by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow... Leapin and a hoppin' on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow... Moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow.

Ticket to the Moon

Listen to Ticket to the Moon (Midi Format)

Remember the good old 1980s? When things were so uncomplicated? I wish I could go back there again And everything could be the same. I've got a ticket to the moon I'll be leaving here any day soon Yeah, I've got a ticket to the moon But I'd rather see the sunrise in your eyes. Got a ticket to the moon I'll be rising high above the earth so soon And the tears I cry might turn into the rain That gently falls upon your window You'll never know. CHORUS: Ticket to the moon... ticket to the moon Ticket to the moon... ticket to the moon Ticket to the moon... ticket to the moon. Fly, fly through a troubled sky Up to a new world shining bright, oh, oh. Flying high above Soaring madly through the mysteries that come Wondering sadly if the ways that led me here Could turn around and I would see you there Standing there (and I would see you there, waiting...) Ticket to the moon chorus Flight leaves here today from Satellite Two As the minutes go by, what should I do? I paid the fare, what more can I say? It's just one way... only one way...

Heading for the Moon

by Cyndi Lauper, Stephen Broughton Lunt, & A. Stead (© 1986)

Sound file in MP3 format can be found here

Don't close your eyes or I might drift away Under the night my image bends it's shape I'll be written on the wind like you never set a street Heading for the moon I reach out (echos) My pulse begins to raise (echos) The crashing sounds are fears that never phased Let them echo off these waves without as brave as they once were Heading for the moon Oh look how we ride over the white And shadows chase us from behind But just put them out of your mind Oh heading for the moon Don't close your eyes or I might drift away Under the night of never ending shapes I'll be wishing of the blue I'll still wanna send my stars Heading for the moon Oh look how we ride over the white Shadows they chase from behind But just put them out of your mind Oh heading for the moon oh heading for the moon Over the white And shadows they chase from behind But just put them out of your mind Heading for the moon
