I guess the moon's being shy tonight
She keeps hiding her light
Maybe she don't like what she sees when she looks at me.
You know I loved her with all my might -
Didn't get it right
My light's not enough to complete her.
She put her faith in a reluctant believer

In her eyes I see a questioning glance -
Should she take one more chance?
Or keep her hope locked tight inside
Till a higher tide?
If she had known what she knows before
Would she hurt less or more?
It was not my intent to deceive her
She put her faith in a reluctant believer

Chorus
When the only light you have
Comes from a reflection
If you're gonna see your path
You must face in the right direction

This dance between the moon and me
Was it meant to be?
Or will she only touch and run
When she sees the sun?
If I could she would be only mine
And we both would shine
But a brighter light's gonna reach her
She's wanting more than a reluctant believer.

Repeat Chorus

I guess the moon's being shy tonight.
