Well, the moon in New York tonight was beautiful
I wish you were around to see it too
I´m so happy I could cry, why´d you´d have to go and die like that?
It´s a shame when people ain´t around to see

The smiles that they nurture, the laughter they breed
These people don´t know me, and I don´t plan on showing what I´ve seen
And I threw up on a corner in Philadelphia
She said, "Boy, there ain´t no real point in helping ya"
The only thing you´ve ever owned were high hopes and a pocket comb, you fool
So don´t act like you know who I am
´Cause the more I´ll explain, the less you´ll understand
Them assholes downtown are the only ones around that even try

So look up tonight
The moon, she´s shining
And we´ll be alright

´Cause she´s still smiling
The city lights´ll blow mama´s mind
The more I search, the less I find
But I´m alright
´Cause she´s here tonight
Oh, she´s alright

And I still recall the night you´re heading home
You were fighting so hard I knew you couldn´t be alone
Your hand in my hand, I knew I had to be a man from that night on
And I´ll tell you all these stories one day
And we´ll laugh like we used to and waste the night away
You´ll say, "Boy, how I´ve missed ya," but son, I was with you this whole time

So look up tonight
The moon, she´s shining
And we´ll be alright
´Cause she´s still smiling
The city lights´ll blow mama´s mind
The more I search, the less I find
But I´m alright
´Cause she´s here tonight
Oh, she´s alright
She´s alright
Oh, she´s alright

The moon in New York tonight was beautiful
I wish you were around to see it too
I´m so down that I could cry, why´d my best friend up and die like that?
Hey, baby, um, I just wanna see what you´re doing
I love you, bye-bye
