America – Young Moon lyrics

Written by Dewey Bunnell and Gerry Beckley, ©1994
Found on Hourglass and Highway.

Fascination with the light in your hair
A celebration, nothing else can compare
An invitation to share my life with you

Stepping forward, reaching out for your hand
Hear the music of the sea on the sand
Like a vision rising out of the blue

Looking like a
Young moon in the heavens
Mother to the stars
Young moon guide us tonight

Elevation to a place high above
The combination, you and me and our love
Determination to spend my life with you

Looking at you face to face with my world
A quiet beauty not like just any girl
Moving slowly from the dark into view

Looking like a
Young moon in the heavens
Mother to the stars
Young moon guide us tonight
We are here in this moment
Shining twice as bright
We are here for you to see

Bright lights, long shadows
Tonight, we can handle
All of the doubts we may hold inside
It is a new day, things are different now
We've got each other
We'll keep looking for that young moon

We are here in this moment
Shining twice as bright
We are here for all to see

Young moon in the heavens
Mother to the stars
Young moon guide us tonight

We are here in this moment
Shining twice as bright...
