Smash - Hang The Moon Lyrics

Bombshell: The New Marilyn Musical from Smash
SMASH - Hang The Moon Lyrics


The song is written by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman.

Gladys:
If our lives were a movie
I'd know what to do
I'd write every scene with my heart
An archaeal picture that stars me and you
And this time I'd learn my part

I'd paint you some scenery
We'd sing, and we'd dance
From morning till late afternoon
And when that scene is done
Then I'd paint down the sun
And for you darling, I'll hang the moon

We'd wake up to sunshine
Like lights on a set
You'd reach out and there'd be my hand
All day there'd be music
A perfect duet
That flows from the white baby grand

At night when you're frightened
I'll play you to sleep
That melody from Clair de Lune
And to fill up the sky As the clouds, I would fly
And for you darling, I'll hang the moon

Hang the moon forever
So you'd never fear
The darkness, the darkness I know
Moon, protect Norma Jeane
So that she'll never be alone
Never alone

If our lives were a movie
Then you'd be the star
'Cause know I know the role I should play
To applaud all you do
All the things that you are
And just be there on opening day

I know in the past
That the lines were all wrong
And the music was never in tune
But the wish that I make
Is for just one more take
Because then, darling, I'll hang the moon

Gladys & Marilyn:
I'll hang the moon above you
So you never fear
The darkness, the darkness of night
Then you'll know I love you
Each time that you feel a light

Gladys:
Feel the light

If our lives were a movie
Then I'd cut away
All the moments when I wasn't there

Marilyn:
The scenes that are happy
Are all that will stay
The rest will dissolve into air

Gladys & Marilyn:
As the final reel ends
We might both shed a tear

Gladys:
For the ending is coming up soon

Gladys & Marilyn:
But when the screen fades to black
We can smile and look back

Gladys:
And for you, darling, I'll hang the moon
