about

After thinking of the phrase, "When I'm asleep, I dream me to the
moon," the lyrics and music followed easily.
Sometimes it just happens that way.

lyrics

The Man In The Moon

Chorus

The Man in the moon
Whistles a tune
Watching the starry sky
He looks here and there
He looks everywhere
Nothing escapes his eye
(last chorus) Nothing escapes his eye, Sleep tight now, beddy bye

When I'm asleep I dream me to the moon
So I can visit the Man
He confesses he can't stand blue cheese
Says it just makes him wheeze

Chorus

(different) He looks up and down, he looks all around..

He points out the planets, a comet or two
The earth, so beautifully blue
We dine on the view, a celestial stew
Quite the gourmet menu

Chorus

(different) He looks up and down, he looks all around...

Bouncing and leaping from crater to dune
No sounds but such sights to see
Thanks to the gravity here on the moon
There's just one sixth of me

I awake rubbing moon dust from my eye
I forget if I told him goodbye
What a blast I had with the Man in the moon
Sure hope I can go back real soon

Chorus

(final only) He looks left and right, he looks day and night...
He looks near and far, to the most distant star...

William Morris (aka Lanny) Lambdin Amherst, Virginia

I grew up in a house that was always filled with music, from opera and hymns to musicals and the symphonies of the classical composers. As a consequence, my head has always been full of tunes and my song-writing has flowed from that wealth of music as well as the rock and blues I have gravitated to as an adult. My inner child stays close by, so my creations are mostly for kids - of all ages. ... more
