Intro
Nora watches moonlight glow.
Moss Mouse wants to see below.
Verse 1
Leaves block Moss's little view.
Tall trees are too hard to climb.
Nora finds a stump nearby,
But wet leaves make it hard to try.
Chorus
Make some room and share the moon.
Friends can find a good spot soon.
High or low, the light can be
Warmer when you watch with me.
Verse 2
Nora brushes leaves away.
Dry stump makes a safer place.
One low branch still blocks the light.
Nora lifts it out of sight.
Chorus
Make some room and share the moon.
Friends can find a good spot soon.
High or low, the light can be
Warmer when you watch with me.
Bridge
Nora leaves her branch up high,
Sits by Moss beneath the sky.
Moon shows bun and sleepy face,
Long-eared rabbit in its shade.
Final Chorus
Moss yawns as a cloud floats by.
Nora's soft wing keeps him dry.
Moss says, "Thank you for this view."
Shared moonlight warmed both friends too.
Outro
On the stump beneath the tree,
Moonlight shone for you and me.
