Oh, Velvet moon
-why do you look so gloom?
Throughout the years
you have changed in shape
and different shades of grays.

Oh, velvet moon,
you have always been true
in the silence, you shined your light
for the world to see the beauty of you.

Poets and astrologists,
have written so much about the heavens
you live in among the stars that beautify
your velvet glow of long ago.

I have sat alone on many nights
and many sad painful years
letting out my tears,
watching you from far
and yet, you somehow touched my bleeding heart.

Oh, velvet moon,
You even have shown your painful beauty
for the whole world to see plenty.
It was as if you have shown this velvet color for me to see
you felt my pains in darken dreams.

When darkness played its games
you were there watching over me.
By far into the night you shone your light
for me to see the beauty you bring upon the land
so that I could watch where my feet would lead.

Far, far away I dream of you-
I would even talk to you, my faithful friend.
It was like you could feel the pains I was in,
I thank Jehovah God for you.

Oh, Velvet moon
you're changing again in a different shade
and another shade of gray.
In seasons of time, you are always on my mind.
I gaze at your beauty -
as I watch all all those billions of stars
dance around you like they're in love with you.

The colors that turns gray
in a world of darkness of the black and white
that fades in your beauty-
as if you shine true Love my way
from heaven above.
