[Verse 1]
Standing on the moon
Got no cobweb on my shoe
Standing on the moon
And I'm feeling so alone and blue
I see the Gulf of Mexico
Tiny as a tear
The coast of California
Must be somewhere over here, over here

[Verse 2]
Standing on the moon
See the battle rage below
Standing on the moon
See the soldiers come and go
There's a metal flag beside me
Someone planted long ago
Old Glory standing stiffly
Crimson, white and indigo
Indigo

[Bridge]
I see all of Southeast Asia
I can see El Salvador
I hear the cries of children
And the other songs of war
Like a mighty melody
That falls down from the sky
Standing here upon the moon
I watch it all roll by, by
All roll by, all roll by
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Standing on the moon
I see a shadow on the sun
Standing on the moon
Stars go fading one by one
I hear a cry of victory
Another of defeat
A scrapbook, an old lullaby
Down some forgotten street
Forgotten street

[Verse 4]
Standing on the moon
Where talk is cheap and vision true
A lovely view of Heaven
But I'd rather be with you
A lovely view of Heaven

[Verse 5]
Standing on the moon
Where I get your cheap and vision true
Standing on the moon
But I'd rather be with you
Somewhere in San Francisco
On a back porch in July
A lovely view of Heaven
A crescent in the sky, in the sky
[Outro]
Standing on the moon
Nothing left to do
A lovely view of Heaven
But I'd rather be with you
A lovely view of Heaven
But I'd rather be with you, be with
Be with you, be with you
Be with you, be with you
Be with you, be with you
Be with you

Be with you
Be with you, be with you
Be with you, be with you, be with you
Be with you
Be with you, be with you, be with you
Be with you, be with you
Be with you, be with you
