Lyrics

Orange Moon

I'm an orange moon I'm an orange moon Reflecting the light of the sun Many nights he was alone Many, many, many nights His light was too bright so they turned away And he stood alone Every night and every day Then he turned to me He saw his reflection in me And he smiled at me when he turned to me Then he said to me How good it is, how good it is How good it is, how good it is I'm an orange moon I'm brighter than before Brighter than ever before I'm an orange moon and I shine so bright Cause I reflect the light of my sun I praise the day, he turned my way And smiled at me He gets to smile and I get to be orange Da da da do dee How good it is, how good it is How good it is, how good it is How good it is, how good it is How good it is, how good it is Shine so bright He ruled the day, I ruled the night Shine, shine, shine How good it is, how good it is How good it is, how good it is How good it is, how good it is How good he is, how God he is How good it is, how good it is How good he is, how God he is How good it is, how good it is How good he is, how God he is How good it is, how good it is I'm an orange moon I'm brighter than before, brighter Reflecting the light of the sun Smile at me
