One of our earliest songs, the hook actually came from Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd where the barber says "I once held the moon in the palm of my hand and let it slip away." Tom and I wrote about a couple for whom the moonlight that shines into their room on a night that they're fighting reminds them of the moonlight that was there when they first fell in love.
"Baby, Baby, I can’t take another silent night
The moon through our window is casting down its lover's light
We're bathed in this moonlight yet we barely touch
But I know we'd still be in love if we could just
Hold that moon
Once upon a time we held the moon in our hands
Hold that moon
We did it before we could do it again
Hold that moon"
