(Chapin Hartford/George Teren)



The fences are mended, the bills are all paid

And I feel kinda guilty for feeling this way

For all you that you give me and all that you do

I can't help missing the romantic moments I once had with you



I'm only asking for the moon

The stars in your eyes

One of those nights when you hold me close to you

I'm not asking for much, a kiss or a touch

Nothing thats hard to do

I'm only asking for the moon



It won't cost a penny

You don't have to go far

Who needs to see Paris

When we can find heaven in our own back yard



I'm only asking for the moon

The stars in your eyes

One of those nights when you hold me close to you

I'm not asking for much, a kiss or a touch

Nothing thats hard to do

I'm only asking for the moon



I need you to hold me close like you used to do

I'm only asking for the moon
