Shawn Colvin did it best i think, and every time i hear it i think of my little girl, i used to sing it to her at night when she was just a wee little thing and would wake me up in the middle of the night. It suits her to a tee, and it always tugs on the tear ducts when i hear it. I present to you for poetry day, a song written by Jeff Moss and performed by a Muppet named Ernie on Sesame Street. Here is "I dont want to live on the moon".

Well, I'd like to visit the moon
On a rocket ship high in the air
Yes, I'd like to visit the moon
But I don't think I'd like to live there
Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I might like it for one afternoon
I don't want to live on the moon

I'd like to travel under the sea
I could meet all the fish everywhere
Yes, I'd travel under the sea
But I don't think I'd like to live there
I might stay for a day there if I had my wish
But there's not much to do when your friends are all fish
And an oyster and clam aren't real family
So I don't want to live in the sea

I'd like to visit the jungle, hear the lions roar
Go back in time and meet a dinosaur
There's so many strange places I'd like to be
But none of them permanently

So if I should visit the moon
Well, I'll dance on a moonbeam and then
I will make a wish on a star
And I'll wish I was home once again
Though I'd like to look down at the earth from above
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I may go I'll be coming home soon
'Cause I don't want to live on the moon
No, I don't want to live on the moon.

Yeah, i know, but hey, i am only human, or am I?

Much love to you guys,
