About This Song


I wrote this somg reflecting back on a past relationship that ended up not working out and wishing I could just put myself somewhere far away from having to still deal with the heartbreak of it.

Wish I Were the Moon

Written by Greg Rhea

As I sit here on this clear summer night
Looking up at that big moon shining oh so bright

I think about you and me sharing nights like this
Need to shut my mind off cause I hate to reminess

If I could find a way to occasionally disappear
And be many miles away from here

Chorus:
(Sometimes I wish I were the moon, and be away so far…
I could hide behind the clouds and hang out with the stars…

I could be away all day, and just come out at night…
In a sky so dark, I would shine so bright…..

I could control the tide, and under my light could set the mood
And you could never break my heart, sometime I wish I were the moon…)

Love is a gamble, that’s what they say
And I found that out the hard way

When you gamble, there’s never a sure thing
I put all my cards on the table when I gave you that ring

I could see our future I had so many plans
When it was all said and done all I had was a losing hand

Chorus:
(Sometimes I wish I were the moon, and be away so far…
I could hide behind the clouds and hang out with the stars…

I could be away all day, and just come out at night…
In a sky so dark, I would shine so bright…..

I could control the tide, and under my light could set the mood
And you could never break my heart, sometime I wish I were the moon…

Sometimes I wish I were the moon, and be away so far…
I could hide behind the clouds and hang out with the stars…

I could be away all day, and just come out at night…
In a sky so dark, I would shine so bright…..

I could control the tide, and under my light could set the mood
And you could never break my heart, sometime I wish I were the moon…}
