listen close, as close as I am to you
like the bell of liberty, I’ll ring a sound that’s true
and days go by and seasons too
in time our love may digress with the words we can renew

oh, i’ll tell you that I
I love you by and by
I don’t know if I’d survive
without a friend like you in my life

and I know words can be the worst to pervey
how it is I feel for you, it’s hard for me to say
but if we keep it simple, I think it’s better that way
tingled words tend to lead my messages astray

oh, i’ll tell you that I
I love you by and by
I don’t know if I’d survive
without a friend like you in my life

this web we weave
holds us hand in hand
and if we loosen our grips
we may weaken these strands
so lets reinforce our love and let it echo through the land
and if we don’t we may find ourselves washed up with the sand

oh, i’ll tell you that I
I love you by and by
I don’t know if I’d survive
without a friend like you in my life

One day
The moon got tired of being
Up in the sky
He wandered
Down through the starlight
And landed on the oceanside

And he smiled while
He jumped in the water
And laughed about
As he danced in the sand
He put on
His swim trunks and snorkel
And guess what
Mr. Moon swam

Did I tell you
That moonbeams are heavy?
And therefore
Mr. Moon sank
He fell down
Through the seawalls of seaweed
And landed
At the bottom of a tank

And he sat there
With the starfish and jellyfish
And laughed about
The sharks and the whales
They drank lots
Of Miller Lights and Heinekens
And laughed about
All of their tales

Oh, Mr. Moon
The stars are shining for you in the night sky
Please come home
Oh, Mr. Moon
The sun is shining for you until it goes away
And then it’s dark
And then it’s dark
And then it’s dark
