Moonlight Sacrifice

[Intro] In the quiet dark, I whisper to the stars A thousand sighs rise up, but hope stays near and far [Verse 1] Every night I’m crying for a sacrifice I’m craving If I’m seeing you tonight, the silhouette keeps fading Sometimes I smile when I glimpse the silver sky above me But tears return again, like a tide that won’t set free [Pre-Chorus] If the moon could tell you, would you hear my plea? I’m chasing your echo through this endless memory [Chorus] Crying for you in the night, I’m hoping you shine through Seeing you in the dark, I’m reaching for a truth I knew Crying, crying, when the sky is blue and gray I’m waiting for the dawn to bring a kinder day [Verse 2] If I look at the sky, your name becomes a whispering light Night after night, I keep your image close and tight Sometimes I smile to hide the ache that never leaves me But every star reminds me that you’re a dream I can’t seize [Pre-Chorus] If the wind could tell you, would you turn around? I’m calling your name and listening for the sound [Chorus] Crying for you in the night, I’m hoping you shine through Seeing you in the dark, I’m reaching for a truth I knew Crying, crying, when the sky is blue and gray I’m waiting for the dawn to bring a kinder day [Bridge] Moonlight brings a promise I keep close to my chest Maybe in the morning you’ll be more than a memory blessed [Chorus] Crying for you in the night, I’m hoping you shine through Seeing you in the dark, I’m reaching for a truth I knew Crying, crying, when the sky is blue and gray I’m waiting for the dawn to bring a kinder day [Outro] Until the sky forgives, I’ll hold your light in my eyes Till morning breaks the spell and clears the tears I hide
