Description
Sometimes everything great comes down to something simple - to the moonlight, to breathing next to someone, and to the quiet realisation that of all the things you can have, love is the only one that is truly yours. In a world where everything is foreign, she doesn't require a signature, a contract, or even reciprocity. She just is - warm, earthy, like a reflection of light on water. And though nothing lasts forever, except this feeling - it's big enough to shine even after the body is gone. Pure tenderness, unadorned, but with a strength that brings peace.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Moon, a hole of light through the big top tent up high.
Here before and after me, shining down on me.
Moon, tell me if I could send up my heart to you, so when I die, which I must do, could it shine down here with you? 'Cause my love is mine, all mine.
I love my, my, mine.
Nothing in the world belongs to me but my love, mine, all mine, all mine.
My baby here on Earth showed me what my heart was worth, so when it comes to be my turn, could he shine it down here for her? 'Cause my love is mine, all mine.
I love my, my, mine.
Nothing in the world belongs to me but my love, mine, all mine.
Nothing in the world is mine for free but my love, mine, all mine, all mine.
