Sound is a wave like a wave on the ocean
Moon plays the ocean like a violin
Pushing and pulling from shore to shore
Biggest melody you never heard before
What if I were the night sky,
I were the night sky?
Here's my lullaby to leave by
What if we hadn't been born at the same time?
What if you were seventy-five and I were nine?
Would I still visit you? Bring you cookies in an old folks' home?
Would you be there alone?
When the late summer lightning fires off in your arms
Will I remember to breathe? (No, I never will)
And if I could convince you that I mean you no harm—
Just want to show you how not to need
What if I were the night sky?
What if I were the night sky?
Here's my lullaby
My lullaby to leave by
My lullaby to leave by
If I were the night...
What if we hadn't been each other's at the same time?
Would you tell me all the stories from when you were young and in your prime?
Would I rock you to sleep?
Would you tell me all the secrets you don't need to keep?
Would I still miss you?
Would you then have been mine?
Sound is a wave like a wave on the ocean
Moon plays the ocean like a violin
Pushing and pulling from shore to shore
Biggest melody you never heard before
What if I were the night sky,
I were the night sky?
Here's my lullaby to leave by.
My lullaby to leave by
Lullaby to leave by
If I were the night sky
