Blue Moon

I sit and watch the blue moon weep,
and bright stars that glow
I ponder what it is to keep,
a wakeful thought aflow

My tears are bland and colourless,
and loosely falling down
My emotions lasting just until
a smile becomes a frown

You read my pain in black and white,
and feelings well up inside
You take some time on this dark night,
a smile you cannot deny

For the happiness within you deep,
and the trust you hold away
For the times you watch the blue moon weep,
a way to make love stay.
