Children's Moon |
LyricsVerse 1When the moon is bright, but it's still daylight And night won't fall for awhile That's when you'll see the children smile, A special moon--is in their sight. It's a magic time in the warm sunshine When the moon has come to visit with the sun When it's still light outside but the moon is shining bright And children everywhere are having fun. Play children play- under the Children's Moon Dancing in the Sun together everyone has fun Under the moon Under the Children's Moon Under the Children's Moon Verse 2 It's a special moon for those special folk, Those young buds -still have to bloom And children all through the centuries Dance under that same Children's Moon Children everywhere they like to share The light- of the Children's ,Moon Young and Old together there Happy in the sun and the Children's Moon Play children play-under the Children's Moon Dancing in the sun-together everyone Is a child -under the moon Under the Children's Moon- Under the children's Moon I want to stay-I want to play Under that very special light The moment- will be gone too soon, Under the Children's Moon |

| Story Behind the Song: While conducting a workshop of writing poems about the moon with Grade 2 and 3 children in Binscarth,Manitoba -one of the boys said "Did you know that when the moon and the sun are out at the same time , it's called a Children's Moon?" I said "No, I hadn't heard that before" I kept thinking about what he said and a couple of weeks later wrote the lyrics for the song. Just this year Rubin Kantorovich and I recorded the song. |
