He loves the dawn
But I am the night
And I bet he wants
Something beautiful, simple and bright

But I think too much
I love like I'm dyin'
And I come and go like the moon
Like the morn my face shows when I'm lyin'

And I may not burn like some
I bathe him in silver light
And when the sunset comes
I'll be lovin' him
Lovin' him all through the night

Well there was a time
Many, in fact
They called me Sunshine
But only my mother knows that

A kiss on his shoulder
His chest and his hands
And he talks so funny
So I'd kiss his mouth and be Sunshine again
But just for him
And I may not burn like some
I bathe him in silver light
And when the sunset comes
I'll be lovin' him
Lovin' him all through the night

And oh, his laughter
I still hear it 30 midnights after
But I just can't confess

Oh I know I'm in over my head
And I know he knows that I know he knows

That he is the sun
But I am the moon
Hung like a ghost in the sky when it's day and he's lighting me too

But he is no fool
He sees I'm a mess
But I'll blame these unsteady hands on the wine when we dance nonetheless

And I'll never burn like some
But I'll let him shine so bright
He'll know when morning comes
I've been lovin' him
Lovin' him all through the night
All through the night
All through the night
