Once upon a broken heart
There's a time for love
And a time the lover's part
And it doesn't always work out.
The way that we planned
Did you really wanna know the way,
That all the movies end?
No

Mr. Moonlight won't you take the rain away?
And leave me with the hope of a better day
No, sunshine don't you let me frown
I've heard the grass is always greener
On the lover's side of town

Midnight picture show, and
Love talk radio, just
Doesn't quite make up for
The ladies that I used to know
And, well some they wish me well
And some became my enemies
And some I told to go to hell
And some still haunt me in my dreams
Some still haunt me in my dreams

Mr. Moonlight won't you take the rain away?
And leave me with the hope of a better day
No, sunshine don't you let me frown
I've heard the grass is always greener
On the lovers side of town
On the lovers side of town
Mm

I am riding on the midnight train
Not sure exactly why I came
I am fine with just me and my guitar
But sometimes I am wishing for a little more
Just a little more

So little girl won't you sit by me?
Over here
So I can whisper sweet nothings in your ear
And I just
Just wanna listen to what you have to say
And we can tell the world that they can just fade away
They can fade away

Mr. Moonlight won't you take the rain away?
And leave me with the hope of a better day
Oh, sunshine don't you let me frown
Cause I've heard the grass is always greener
On the lovers side of
I've heard the grass is always greener
On the lovers side
I've heard the grass is always greener
On the lovers side of town
On the lovers side of town
Ooh, on the lovers side of town
On the lovers side of town
