The Moon and the Sea
by Cast of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

ELOWEN KEENE, spoken
It's a nice evenin'
I love it on a clear night when you can see the face of the man in the moon
I love the way his light touches the sea
Now there's a thought

ELOWEN KEENE
I wonder
What if the moon were
To sing to the sea
What would his song be?

 Perhaps he'd sing:
"Ooh, how you shimmer and shine far below
How rare are your rock pools that glimmer and glow"
Or maybe he'd just stay silent and still

BENJAMIN BUTTON, spoken
Maybe

ELOWEN KEENE
The moon and the sea

 Or I wonder
What if the sea were
To sing to the moon too
What would her song say?

 Perhaps she'd sing:
"Stop all your glowin', you're shinin' too bright
And the light from your face keeps me up ev'ry night"
Or maybe her teasin' is hidin' her heart

BENJAMIN BUTTON
Maybe

ELOWEN KEENE
The moon and the sea

BENJAMIN BUTTON, spoken
It is a nice evenin'
Shouldn't you be spendin' it with someone your own age?

ELOWEN KEENE, spoken
Have you ever met a man my age?
Men in their twenties are so overconfident
In their thirties they're all knackered from overwork
In their forties they're all worried about turning fifty
In their sixties they're, bleh, they’re pretty much seventy
But men in their fifties...

BENJAMIN BUTTON
But I wonder
What if the moon were
To fall for the sea
What could the moon do?

 For no matter the hope hidin' inside his heart
The moon and the sea are just too far apart
So he's destined to dream in that sky high above

ELOWEN KEENE
But maybe

ELOWEN KEENE & BENJAMIN BUTTON
Maybe

COMPANY
What if the moon and the sea were in love?
And upon the horizon, those lovers were free

ELOWEN KEENE & BENJAMIN BUTTON
Each evenin' the moon would come down to the sea

ELOWEN KEENE
Then supposin' the moon saw the opportune tide
But the moment to draw the sea close to his sight

ELOWEN KEENE & BENJAMIN BUTTON
Then maybe he'd kiss her under his light

ELOWEN KEENE, spoken
I probably should be gettin' back inside

BENJAMIN BUTTON, spoken
Oh of course

ELOWEN KEENE, spoken
Good night, 'Just Benjamin'

BENJAMIN BUTTON, spoken
Good night, Elowen

BENJAMIN BUTTON
I wonder
What if the moon were
In love with the sea
