Well, I met a man
on a sunny day,
He was ridin' high,
chasing the blues away.
The wind in his hair,
a smile on his face,
He was runnin' free,
like he owned the place.

CHORUS:
THE MAN IN THE HONEYMOON,
flyin' high on love,
He's got the stars in his eyes,
the moon up above.
He'll chase after your heart,
like a comet in the night,
He's THE MAN IN THE HONEYMOON,
the man that's got it right.

He walked on in,
into the local bar,
Like a shootin' star,
strummin' his guitar
He sang a tune,
that made the people sway,
They were dancin' and laughin',
helped them keep their blues at bay.

He's a mystery,
like the dark side of the moon,
A silhouette,
under the midnight's gloom.
He'll steal your heart,
with a single glance,
THE MAN IN THE HONEYMOON,
he'll get you in his trance.

CHORUS:
THE MAN IN THE HONEYMOON,
flyin' high on love,
He's got the stars in his eyes,
the moon up above.
He'll chase after your heart,
like a comet in the night,
He's THE MAN IN THE HONEYMOON,
the man that's got it right.

He left our town,
like a hurricane,
People still whisper his name,
they'll never be the same.
They say that he's gone,
but his spirit still remains,
THE MAN IN THE HONEYMOON,
who soothed a thousand pains.

CHORUS:
THE MAN IN THE HONEYMOON,
flyin' high on love,
He's got the stars in his eyes,
the moon up above.
He'll chase after your heart,
like a comet in the night,
He's THE MAN IN THE HONEYMOON,
the man that's got it right.

This cheered me up! What a pretty song. It tells its story very, very well. I really wanted to know what was going to happen in the story. Lovey imagery in the lyrics.

This is a fun title, and the track is beautifully jangly and flowing nicely along. Lovely lyrical stylings, easygoing sound. I feel like this could also roll under some movie credits -- opening or closing.

Beautiful vocals and music. Interesting title and lyrics, although I had different expectations. Appreciated the brilliant @billwhite51 interpretation.

The title is a terrific turnaround on the man in the moon. This is one of my favorites. The thing i like best about it is that he is a heroic figure to the end. You never sink to making him out to be a heart strealing villain. He is a wnderful guy, spreading love all around.
