The lyrics are simple and the way it is sang in the movie is so simple as well. One does not need a good operatic voice to sing it.
Just a heart that is bursting of affection for the other person.
I sang this as raw as I can so that the same sentimental feeling I felt whenever I hear this song would be heard in my cover as well.
Enjoy! :)
Here's the lyrics:
I'm lying on the moon
My dear, I'll be there soon
It's a quiet starry place
Time's we're swallowed up in space
We're here a million miles away
There's things I wish I knew
There's no thing I'd keep from you
It's a dark and shiny place
But with you my dear, I'm safe
And we're a million miles away
We're lying on the moon
It's a perfect afternoon
Your shadow follows me all day
Making sure that I'm okay
And we're a million miles away
A million miles away
A million miles away
