The Moon Song Lyrics
My dear, I'll be there soon
It's a quiet and starry place
Time's we're swallowed up
In space we're here a million miles away
There's things I wish I knew
There's no thing I'd keep from you
It's a dark and shiny place
But with you my dear
I'm safe and we're a million miles away
We’re lying on the moon
It’s a perfect afternoon
Your shadow follows me all day
Making sure that I'm
Okay and we’re a million miles away
A million miles away
A million miles away

That’s how Karen reacted to her first-ever Oscar nomination for the song in an interview with Rolling Stone. – “Holy smokes. I had zero clue! To say this was unexpected is an understatement. It’s wild because ‘The Moon Song’ was written and recorded in the most humble of circumstances; at my dining room table, a few paces away from the couch I read the script for Her for the first time.”
