Sculpting the Moon
Composition, lyrics, arrangement, and singing by Michelle Ning Lo
Under a quiet night sky, you and I gaze at the moon
You sit next to me, telling me everything
I can feel our love becoming more
In the moonlight
Why do I see disappointment on your face?
Are you tired?
Am I just seeing things?
Why is the moon never a perfect round?
Tears flow down your profile
Shimmering, shining in my heart
Twinkling like the stars above
So you've had your heart broken
But I can promise you this time love won't change
I can patch the holes of your past romances
I know love can be round
So you've never seen a perfect moon
But I can promise you forever
Becoming a sculptor, I will sculpt the moon
Sculpt a perfectly round moon for you
You know you can trust me
‘Cause I love you
When will the moon become round?
Tears decorate your pale face
Shimmering, twinkling like the stars above
So you've witnessed love going off track
But I can promise you my love only moves forward
I can stop the bleeding of your past injuries
I know love can be round
So you've never gazed upon a full moon
But I can guarantee you a perfect ending
Becoming a sculptor, I will sculpt the moon
Sculpt a perfectly round moon for you
So you've experienced love expiring
But I can promise you my love is safe
I can put out the wicked fires of your past
I know you can be whole
(So you've never seen a perfect moon
But I can promise you forever)
I promise you, baby
Becoming a sculptor, I will sculpt the moon
Sculpt a perfectly round moon for you
