lyrics

There was a time I was afraid of the dark
I'd scare the shadows away by turning on the light
One day a shadow said Hey, I'm just a friend of the sun
And the sun sent me here to help you sleep through the night

The moon and the stars and me
We're watching over the world,
but just till the sun comes back
The moon and the stars and me
We know the colors are sleeping,
that's why they look like that

Oh yeah, the colors are sleeping and so are your shoes
And all your t-shirts are sleeping reds, yellows and blues
And all the birds are curled up in their nests in the trees
And when the shadows lie down, so will that dog at your feet

The moon and the stars and me
We're watching over the world,
but just till the sun comes back
The moon and the stars and me
We know the colors are sleeping,
that's why they look like that

The moon and the stars and me
We're watching over the world,
but just till the sun comes back
The moon and the stars and me
We know the colors are sleeping,
that's why they look like that

In the morning the sun gives a stretch and a yawn
And all the colors are brighter, having slept until dawn
I told the shadows they could come back every day
So they sleep in my closet til the sun and me are too tired to play

The moon and the stars and me
We're watching over the world,
but just till the sun comes back
The moon and the stars and me
We know the colors are sleeping,
that's why they look like that

The moon and the stars and me
We're watching over the world,
but just till the sun comes back
The moon and the stars and me
We know the colors are sleeping,
that's why they look like that
