(Mark Alan Springer)

Some folks look through telescopes
And dream of flying high above the sky
And they say it won't be long
Till we can hope a ship to mars.

Well, I'm just a simple man
There's a lot that I don't know
But as long as you're here with me
I'd just as soon stay home.

On this side of the moon
Things are goin' my way
Your love keeps shinin' through
Even when it rains.

There's no where else I'd rather be
I'm happy standin' here in these shoes
With you here in my life the world is lookin' bright
On this side of the moon.

(Spoken)
Well, sometimes on a clear night
We pull up a chair out in the yard.

(Sang)
I'm always amazed
At the good Lord who made so many stars
And I know I'd feel out of place
Strolling through the milky way
Aw, you must thank the astronauts
I think I'd rather stay.

On this side of the moon
Things are goin' my way
Your love keeps shinin' through
Even when it rains.

There's no where else I'd rather be
I'm happy standin' here in these shoes
With you here in my life the world is lookin' bright
On this side of the moon.

With you here in my life
The world keeps look in' bright
On this side of the moon...
