Hang the moon

Gladys:
If our lives were a movie
I´d know what to do
I´d write every scene with my heart
An R.K.O. picture
That stars me and you
And this time, I´d learn my part
I´d paint you some scenery
We´d sing, and we´d dance
From morning, ´til late afternoon
And when that scene is done
Then I´d take down the sun
And for you, darling, I´ll hang the moon
We´d wake up to sunshine
Like lights on a set
You´d reach out, and there´d be my hand
All day, there´d be music
A perfect duet
That flows from the white baby grand
At night, when you´re frightened
I´ll play you to sleep
That melody from Clair de Lune
And to fill up the sky
Past the clouds I would fly
And for you, darling, I´ll hang the moon
Hang the moon forever
So you´d never fear
The darkness, the darkness I´ve know
Moon, protect Norma Jeane
So that she´ll never be alone
Never alone
If our lives were a movie
Then you´d be the star
´Cause now I know the role I should play
To applaud all you do,
All the things that you are
And just be there on opening day
I know in the past
That the lines were all wrong
And the music was never in tune
But the wish that I make
Is for just one more take
Because then, darling, I´ll hang the moon
Gladys & Marilyn:
I´ll hang the moon above you
So you never fear
The darkness, the darkness of night
Then you´ll know I love you
Each time that you feel the light
Gladys:
Feel the light
If our lives were a movie
Then I´d cut away
All the moments when I wasn´t there
Marilyn:
The scenes that are happy
Are all that will stay
The rest will dissolve into air
Gladys & Marilyn:
As the final reel ends
We might both shed a tear
Gladys:
For the ending is coming up soon
Gladys & Marilyn:
But when the screen fades to black
We can smile and look back
Gladys:
And for you, darling, I´ll hang the moon
If our lives were a movie
I´d know what to do
I´d write every scene with my heart
An R.K.O. picture
That stars me and you
And this time, I´d learn my part
I´d paint you some scenery
We´d sing, and we´d dance

And when that scene is done
Then I´d take down the sun
And for you, darling, I´ll hang the moon
