On certain nights
When the angles are right
And the moon is
A slender crescent
It's circle shows
In a ghostly glow
Of earthly luminescence
Earthshine
A beacon in the night
I can raise my eyes
To earthshine
Earthshine
A jewel out of reach
Form a dream to rise
To earthshine
Floating high
In the evening sky
I see myFaint reflection
Pale facsimile
Like what others see
When they look
In my direction
Earthshine
A beacon in the night
I can raise my eyes
To earthshine
Earthshine
Stretching out your hand
Full of starlit diamonds
Earthshine
Reflected light
To another's sight
And the moon
Tells a lover's story
My borrowed face
And my third-hand grace
Only reflect your glory
Earthshine
Stretching out your hand
I can raise my eyes
To earthshine
Earthshine
You're still out of reach
Form a dream to rise
To earthshine
Form a dream to rise
To earthshine
