(chapin hartford/george teren)
The fences are mended, the bills are all paid
and i feel kinda guilty for feeling this way
for all you that you give me and all that you do
i can't help missing the romantic moments i once had with you
Chorus:
i'm only asking for the moon
the stars in your eyes
one of those nights when you hold me close to you
i'm not asking for much, a kiss or a touch
nothing thats hard to do
i'm only asking for the moon
It won't cost a penny
you don't have to go far
who needs to see paris
when we can find heaven in our own back yard
(repeat chorus)
I need you to hold me close like you used to do
i'm only asking for the moon
