Sunny Moon 03:34
Sunny Moon Verse # 1 The moon was secretly in love with the sun Whenever they'd meet he'd light up like she was the one it was plain to see why he was all a-glow he was in love with the sun but she didn't know Verse # Well the sun believed she was ordinary star and she dreamed of his moonbeams after dark she was longing to experience a celestial romance and she dreamed of mr. Moonbeams from a-far Chorus He was falling for her shiny star She was lighting up his moon beams from a far so when sun goes down the moon starts to rise The big bang's gonna happen and the sparks fly when the dark side of the moon sees the light Instrumental Verse 3 They say the full moon came out so bright in the middle of the day and the sun grew dark and black in a most peculiar way It caused a solar eclipse when he kissed her on her lips It was a sunny honeymoon all the way Chorus two times and end
