On certain nights When the angles are right And the moon is A slender crescent It's circle shows In a ghostly glow Of earthly luminescence Earthshine A beacon in the night I can raise my eyes To earthshine Earthshine A jewel out of reach Form a dream to rise To earthshine Floating high In the evening sky I see myFaint reflection Pale facsimile Like what others see When they look In my direction Earthshine A beacon in the night I can raise my eyes To earthshine Earthshine Stretching out your hand Full of starlit diamonds Earthshine Reflected light To another's sight And the moon Tells a lover's story My borrowed face And my third-hand grace Only reflect your glory Earthshine Stretching out your hand I can raise my eyes To earthshine Earthshine You're still out of reach Form a dream to rise To earthshine Form a dream to rise To earthshine
