Sliver of the Moon

Shane Minor


Don't think I'm crazy 
I know it's not the most romantic thing 
It's cold and cloudy 
The moon is just a fingernail up in the sky 
But I thought that we could take a walk 
And just enjoy what's there 
And if we can't see it all 
Well I don't care (just) 

A sliver of the moon 
Or a corner of a star 
A little piece of romance 
Keeps our love shining in our hearts 
A twinkle in your eyes 
Or a single firefly 
That's all we need to make it right 
Not meteors or northern lights 
It only takes a sliver of the moon 

Life's not the movies 
Love isn't always like a song 
No we're not perfect 
But neither is this world we're living on 
So we do the best with what we have 
And it's true we don't have much 
But somehow we always seem to find enough 

A sliver of the moon 
Or a corner of a star 
A little piece of romance 
Keeps our love shining in our hearts 
A twinkle in your eyes 
Or a single firefly 
That's all we need to make it right 
Not meteors or northern lights 
It only takes a sliver of the moon 

We're in the shadows 
And the dark sometimes 
But we know somewhere the light still shines 
And somehow we will find 

A sliver of the moon 
Or a corner of a star 
A little piece of romance 
Keeps our love shining in our hearts 
A twinkle in your eyes 
Or a single firefly 
That's all we need to make it right 
Not meteors or northern lights 
It only takes a sliver of the moon 

Oh, it only takes a sliver of the moon
