Sitting folding clothes while the girls slept I looked up and saw the moon.
I wished Briar were with me, that she could look out the window and see it. I wished that we could squeal and show Avery that big old moon. I let them sleep while I smiled out that window like a girl in love. I’ve held the secret of that moon inside me, knowing when Briar calls to the moon from her window that that big old moon comes and peeks in on us. Oh, Mr.Moon indeed.


Oh Mister Moon, moon, bright and shiny moon
Please shine down on me
Oh Mister Moon, moon, bright and shiny moon
Shining from behind that tree
Way over there there’s an owl in a tree
Ba-doom ba-doom
Here she comes swoopin’ down on me
Oh Mister Moon, moon, bright and shiny moon
Please shine down on
Won’t you shine down on
Please shine down on me
