SOUTH CAROLINA MOON
Dan Berggren (2002)

As I look across the porch tonight I see you sitting there,
Resting with your eyes closed, rocking in the chair.
We worked so hard clearing the yard and a thousand other things,
But now they're done and I'm with the one who makes me want to sing.

CHORUS (after each verse):
At the end of a long, hard day,
An unusually hot month of May,
Shooting the breeze as we look through the trees
At the South Carolina in the sky,
At the South Carolina moon.

It was ninety degrees when we stopped to eat, and hotter when supper was done.
A ride in the boat was the only way to put up with the sun.
As the river rolled on, with you in my arms, we let the day float away;
Then back to the shore and I walked to the door of the porch at the end of the day.

Sitting here with the one I love makes me feel so good;
Just like when it's cold in winter and you know you've got lots of wood,
Like a race that's won or a job well done -- I hope you feel it too:
That feeling inside, there's nothing to hide, that's why I sing for you.
