from A Time To Love. | A / [clock] / 2 / [heart] |

After ten years between studio albums, Stevie released a gem, filled with beautiful new original songs perfect for the new century.

This one's got a slightly melancholy feel, but with uplifting lyrics of love. The tune's in B Major -- a bright key -- and is imbued with the usual soulful sound of the one and only STEVIE WONDER!




Moon Blue
Rivers of love you shine
Bathe me in light sublime
Flood me with all your glowing heart you can give

Moon blue
Memories bind like chains
When will you come again
I wait in darkness for your bright to beam

Cause I'm not afraid of the consequence
Of being in love with you
And I'd rather be alone some nights
Awaiting your full hue
For though the sun makes bright the day
My world is dark when there's no you
You light my skies and mark dark night bright day
The yearning of your call
Travels the world and then makes home my soul

Moon blue
Lift me to starry heights
I long to live within your light
Solace of mind
My heart is yours for always

Cause I'm ot afraid of the consequence
Of being in love with you
And I'd rather be alone some nights
Awaiting your full hue
For though the sun makes bright the day
My world is dark when there's no you
You light my skies and mark dark night bright day
Moon blue
