In the night the moon is full and bright
Much brighter as stars
When I raised my eyes
I saw what I´d never believed

I saw the man in the moon
He sleeps still at noon
He´s afraid of the light
His day is the night
I saw the man in the moon
Believe, it´s the truth
There´s no place he don´t find
And I know he comes to you

As a child I dreamed of him at night
I painted a picture on the wall
But I ain´t a child
My eyes are too blind for my dreams

Could you imagine that he weeps
Sometimes he hates his life
Because he´s lonely when we sleep
But he will always be the guardian of the night
His whole life
