Lyrics
Verse:
Fire flies in the woods tonight; the sun is sinking low
It's just beyond the treetop line; be dark in an hour or so
Some kids are playin' kick the can ... in the neighbor's yard next door
For them it's just another summer night, but for me, it's so much more ... 'cause I'll be ...
Chorus:
Calling down the moon to be with you and me tonight
His soft light streaming thru the rustling leaves as gentle breezes tease an old wind chime
He saw us meet; he saw us fall in love; now, I want him to see this, too
To be my witness while on bended knee ... I'm calling down ... calling down the moon
Bridge:
I see you coming through the front yard gate ... and I'm praying that I get this right
And then you smile and I know it's a perfect night ... tonight
Chorus:
I'll be calling down the moon to be with you and me tonight
His soft light streaming thru the rustling leaves as gentle breezes tease an old wind chime
He saw us meet; he saw us fall in love; now, I want him to see this, too
To be my witness while on bended knee ... I'm calling down ... calling down the moon
Calling down the moon
