‘YOU SAW THE WHOLE OF THE MOON’

I was listening to the radio
Driving Jahnavi to her work
When this song came up in crescendo
It’s such a melodious tune
It  turns your heart in a swoon
The singer is alluding to the moon

I didn’t know this
But Jahnavi told me that
Bonnie loved this song, and with a soft tap
That she would often dance
Dance on her own in her flat
With the Waterboys singer
Singing his heart out full blown
Was she, in her flat alone, forlorn?

I didn’t know this
That being closest to me
I hadn’t known this about Bonnie
The lyrics of the song so soulful, so poignant
Made me realise her depth of feelings
And her tenderness so profound
And  profoundly emotional things
I didn’t know this about Bonnie
Being so close to my heart from her birth
Yet I didn’t know this about my sweetie

As the singer sings ‘reach high , reach far’
He sees  only the crescent
But his lady sees the whole of the moon
The whole of the moon of the night

‘I want the moon, I want the moon’
Bonnie as a toddler
She suddenly uttered
With her hand stretched out to the sky
On a floodlit summer night
The full moon radiant up high
She saw with such delight
The whole of the moon in the sky
The whole of the moon

Is she now beyond the reach of the moon?
Even though she may be in the celestial high
Can she see the whole of the moon of the night?
The  whole of the moon
