about

Tell The Moon is written from the perspective of my 17 year old self: I was in love with my best friend who wasn't yet mine to love. One day he finally pulled me close, and I no longer had to "tell the moon!" He's now my husband of 18 years -- a lieutenant colonel, fighter pilot in the Air Force, awesome Dad and Godly man. Yes, I'm super proud of him. And my 17 year old self couldn't have fathomed that the love felt then would only multiply. Sappy? Yep. But totally true.

lyrics

Every time you look at me
Your eyes betray what no one sees
I wonder if you know I feel it too
We laugh, we talk, you touch my hand
You tell me I’m a real good friend
And I can’t say these words I’m longing to

There’s just one problem
My heart cannot believe
You’re holding hands with her
Instead of holding me

I’ll tell the moon that I love you
Whisper your name into the wind
When my heart can’t stand this achin’
Wondering how or where or when
Wish I could say these things I’m feelin’
But there’s nowhere to begin
So I’ll tell the moon, I’ll tell the moon
Since I can’t tell you

Do I dare to bare my soul
Let you in, lose control
Would that be the end of something good
How can something so right be wrong
If I wait will you be gone
Forever leaving love misunderstood

I know one day that what exists won’t be denied
You’ll pull me close and I’ll forgive you
For these tears I’ve cried
