There's a half moon tonight and it's as still as it could be and all of the stars are glistenin' above. Oh, but alas, it's just for me. I know that there's someone who's lookin' up there too. But if only a shooting star could bring me right next to you. How I wish for someone on these nights so alone and I know I can't let this go on. But I'm still missing, missing the girl. Now I got an eye out for someone new. Make these evenings right. A someone special to hold onto in the soft moonlight. I won't let love slip so soon, not a glance, not a touch, not tonight. No, I'm not lettin' me miss you. 'Round about midnight, wrapped up so tight in my arms, underneath the Big Dipper darling, that's right where you belong. There ain't a moment to waste. Don't care what people say I better get you 'fore you up and get gone. Oh baby, I'll be waiting till I find you missing girl.

Asleep in New Mexico. Been driving all day through the Texas snow thinkin' 'bout how you're supposed to be here with me. Looking for signs in the stars. Bethlehem's one of 'em and so is my heart: the one there that's all set apart where our's used to be. I wanted to take ya to see my folks home, to hold you and kiss you 'neath some fake mistletoe, and slow dance to nothin' while the Christmas tree glowed but I'm sad 'cause I'm fixin' to spend one more Christmas alone. Maybe you got someone new. Some other fella who could lasso the moon and tugged it down just as soon as I's gone. I can hear the interstate hum carols of passin' onto Christmas to come but not a word will get sung of you comin' along. I wanted to take ya to see my folks home, to hold you and kiss you 'neath some fake mistletoe, and slow dance to nothin' while the Christmas tree glowed but I'm sad 'cause I'm fixin' to spend one more Christmas alone. I'm sad 'cause I figure I'll spend every Christmas alone.

That's the last first kiss for me. That's the last first kiss for me And the fragile pieces start to fall in place. That's the last first kiss for me. What's beginning I can't see But there's something there beyond the eye. Sunset hiding, half-moon rising, cold wind, summers air Taste and whisper, touch remember, stillness made aware. But if you want something more than me that I can't be Let me go 'cause my heart's breaking, now, as we speak. I can't change the past or who I am, what I've done or haven't found And every fault stuck between all the things I do But if you want all there is to me then please Love me. Now you're waiting for a change. Now you're waiting for a change As the mind begins to race to something new. Now you're waiting for a change 'Cause the kisses ain't the same But it's slow to make it past that line. Sunset hiding, half-moon rising, cold wind, summers air Taste and whisper, touch remember, stillness made aware. But if you want something more than me that I can't be Let me go 'cause my heart's breaking, now, as we speak. I can't change the past or who I am, what I've done or haven't found And every fault stuck between all the things I do But if you want all there is to me then please Love me.
