Cecille's Creativity

This song is one of my favorite because of its extraordinary mood and tone. It reflects the moment when the singer finds lingering arms in the midst of despair to ease the pain she felt inside.

Lyrics of the song, “Sister Moon” by Vanessa Williams

Sister moon will be my guide
In your blue, blue shadows I would hide
All good people asleep tonight
I’m all by myself in your silverlight,
I would gaze at your face the whole night,
Though I’d go out of my mind but for you
I’d go out of my mind but for you

Lying in a mother’s arms
The primal root of a woman’s charms
I’m a stranger to the sun, my eyes are too weak
How could is a heart when it’s warmth that it seeks?
You watch every night, you don’t care what I do
I’d go out of my mind but for you
I’d go out of my mind but for you

My lover’s eyes are nothing like the sun,
My hunger for him explains everything I’ve done
To howl at the moon the whole night through
And they really don’t care if I do
I’d go out of my mind but for you
