Baby Moon

Baby Moon - Audra McDonald

Curled up inside of me,

I feel you

Like a warm ball of light waiting for dawn.

While we are here and we have this connection,

This kind of affection

Before you are gone.

My baby moon.

There is a tiny point

I need to mention.

And I hope that it isn't going to come as a blow.

The last thing I want is to shock or upset you.

I haven't even met you!

But you've got to know

My baby moon.

I'm no hero,

I'm not wise,

Not like the mothers I see.

I don't know any alibis.

But I'm a singer.

And I can sing to you

The sound of what you mean to me.

Aaaaaah, you're moving!

Is it your way of saying that you do understand

That something lonesome and wild in me

Has left a lot of the child in me,

That now and then I will need you to hold my hand?

But what if something should go wrong in there,

And you need my help?

I have to trust you'll find a way to tell me...

I'm no hero.

I'm not wise.

Not like the mothers I see.

I don't know any alibis.

But I'm a singer,

And I can sing to you

The sound of what you mean to me.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaah,

And that's the only guarantee that I can offer for now.

But something lonesome and wild in me,

Has put a magical child in me,

I think we might have a match made in heaven.

I'll see you soon,

My baby moon.

I want to see your face.
