It's Like Reaching For The Moon

It's Like Reaching For The Moon
music by Gerald Marqusee
lyric by Al Lewis (left) & Al Sherman

It's like reaching for the moon; it's like reaching for the sun;
It's like reaching for the stars, reaching for you.
You're so far above me, how can I expect an angel to love me?
Who is so divine as you are?

It's like flying without wings; playing fiddle without strings,
And a million other things no one can do.
Though my hopes are slender, in my secret heart I pray
You'll surrender soon, though it's like reaching for the moon.
