I sat outside one afternoon in an old lawn chair And I watched the sun set off for business west somewhere And the sky turned water color pink and gold and blue And the stars all showed up one by one and we waited for the moon And I thought about you and I wondered why It took so long to say goodbye Oh, you shined so bright you blinded me And left me so I couldnt see That I was the moon chasing the sun There was never a prayer of ever catching up No matter how fast I would run Like the moon chasing the sun Just like the moon chasing the sun The crickets called and the moon peeked out of the eastern sky They both start up about this time each night And the evening breeze dropped by and brought some sweet relief And in the silver light I finally let go of the heat [Repeat Chorus]
