Phases of the moon
Verse 1]
I remember you at twenty, like a summer midday sun
Everything was burning bright, and we were always on the run
Then life brought on the autumn, and the colors started deep
With promises to carry and a house we had to keep
Now the silver’s in your hair like a frost on the pine
And I’m watching how the years have redesigned the lines
But I ain't looking for the girl that I used to know
I’m just falling for the woman that you’ve managed to grow.

[Chorus]
‘Cause honey, you’re just like the phases of the moon
‘Cause honey, you’re just like the phases of the moon
Sometimes you’re a sliver in a quiet afternoon
Sometimes you’re the fire, full and hanging in the sky
Reflecting all the light that’s living in your eyes
You might change your shape, you might hide your face
But you’re still the gravity that keeps me in my place
Through the dark and the silver and the afternoon
I’ll love you through the phases of the moon.

[Verse 2]
There were nights we were shadowed, when the world felt cold and thin
When the clouds pulled across us and wouldn’t let the light back in
I’ve seen you at your crescent, feeling small and far away
And I’ve seen you when you’re glowing like the ending of the day
But the thing about the cycle is it always comes around
What’s lost in the darkness is eventually found
You’re a mystery to solve and a story to be told
A beauty that gets better as the nights get old.

[Bridge]
The stars are just a backdrop, the planets come and go
But you’re the only rhythm that a man could ever know
From the first quarter dance to the waning of the light
You’re the only thing that’s steady in the middle of the night.

[Chorus]
‘Cause honey, you’re just like the phases of the moon
Sometimes you’re a sliver in a quiet afternoon
Sometimes you’re the fire, full and hanging in the sky
Reflecting all the light that’s living in your eyes
You might change your shape, you might hide your face
But you’re still the gravity that keeps me in my place
Through the dark and the silver and the afternoon
I’ll love you through the phases of the moon.
