Crescent Moon   Run Time: 4:47

Written by Bill Mallonee for CyBrenJoJosh (BMI) ©2002

where do i begin
where do i venture in
to knock upon the door
of possibilities?
i'm oh so cavalier
open my mouth up to cover my fear
but you smiled and played along
with awkward first intentions

i think i lost my breath
whenever you said yes
when looking downward
i asked if i might kiss you
and even that you walked me through
all these new rooms to explore
yeah and all my rusty locks
fell to the floor

and if you wished for the brightest star
would you consider a crescent moon?
and if i'm late ah baby wait
i will bring it soon

stumbling when i come
tripping over my dumb tongue
for God's sake don't these
momma's boys ever grow up?
much too easily hurt
life is coming to grips with what you're worth
when God says one thing
but your heart says another

where do i begin?
where do i venture in?
to come inside this love
that's sacramental
i remember when
i first beheld your face
yeah on the streets of this old town
now i carry it every place

A Review by Lord Mhoram / Sep 8, 2003

Wow!!! What an incredibly poignant song. The way it reminds me of my first kiss and my first love is simply incredible. Alone of all Bill's songs, this one always makes me cry. The way the music fits with the words is simply unbelievable. Of course, the whole "...brightest star...Crescent Moon..." thing confuses me as much as anyone else, but it sounds romantic.
I had a hard time getting into this song at first, but after I had listened to it a few times I was an addict. I really enjoy almost all of Bill's songs and the romantic ones are typically just as good as the others, but this one leaves them all in the dust... Except for "Ths Time Isn't One of Them"... Maybe...

Appeared On…
