When I was a baby, just a baby boy
I never really got lonely
I never had to play with no toys
Cause any time that I’m feeling blue
I just look up and see
Big old shiny moon
Was always looking down on me

Shiny moon, shiny moon

And in my teenage years all my time was spent
Didn’t have no time for girls, turned my back on my friends
Cause every night when that sun goes down
And I’m too wired to sleep, shiny moon shine on down
She seduces me

Shiny moon, shiny moon

Shiny moon gonna help me carry my load
Shiny moon gonna help me carry my load
Shiny moon gonna help me when I’m feeling low
Shiny moon gonna help me carry my load

Shiny moon, shiny moon

Now I’m a little bit older
I’m beginning to see
Shiny moon’s shined
So bright she’s been blinding me
Cause every night, oh
I, keep drowning in its rays yeah
Shiny moon never shined
So bright as what it did these days

Shiny moon, shiny moon

Shiny moon gonna hello me carry my load
Shiny moon gonna help me carry my load
Shiny moon gonna help me when I’m feeling low
Shiny moon gonna help me carry my load

Shiny moon, shiny moon
