Story behind the song

Inspired by my youngest, my daughter. We did go for a walk and she did point out the man in the moon. The rest of the lyric followed.

Lyrics

RE-WRITE of the original lyric.

Man-In-The-Moon
(07/02/01)

(V)
Went for a short walk my youngest and I.
Down at the park near our home.
We had to stop, to look and to spy.
Each path we had to roam.
A flat rock was a prize, a keepsake it seemed,
a treasure like a balloon.
I saw a snail, a kid with a pail 
and I saw the man-in-the-moon.

(C)
With my little one riding my shoulders.
I saw the world through her eyes.
Birds in the trees, quick buzzin bees,
fluffy white clouds in the sky.
It seems that I might have forgotten.
Been stuck in my man made cocoon.
Cause I saw a cat, a kid with a bat and 
I saw the man-in- the- moon again.
I saw the man-in-the-moon. 

(V)
Our short walk was one of our longest.
Each fence passed needed a peak.
Heard a dog bark, it soon would be dark.
Played a short game of hide- and -go- seek.
A tree brought a halt to our present game,
this one housed a raccoon.
Saw some more bugs, received a bear hug
and saw the man-in-the-moon. (Chorus)
