Shadows of the night
Moving on the ground
Like silent clouds
They follow me around
As I wander the dark
Through the midnight mist
Remembering our last kiss
Do you know how much
You’re missed
[Chorus:]
Tonight I stand in this lonely place
I search the heavens
For some saving grace
And I cry, dying without you
I know you’re somewhere
Looking up there too
Right now that’s all
Two distant hearts can do
Oh-ooh, at least were underneath
Underneath the same moon
Picturing your face
Flowers in your hair
Like you always wear
Oh I can see you there
Longing to be touched
But you’re out of reach
Oh hold on please
Won’t you wait for me
[Repeat Chorus]
la la la
la la la
la la la
Oh-ooh At least were underneath
Underneath the same moon
Shadows of the night
Moving all around
Moving on the ground
They follow me around
Longing Across the Night Sky
“Underneath The Same Moon” by Blake Shelton is a heartfelt ballad that beautifully captures the ache of separation and the solace found in shared experiences, no matter the distance. The imagery of shadows, midnight mist, and the luminous moon overhead paints a vivid picture of loneliness and yearning. The protagonist seeks comfort in the fact that, while apart, both hearts are gazing at the same night sky, anchored by memories and hope for reunion. The moon becomes a powerful symbol, uniting two distant souls and offering a gentle reminder that love persists—even across great divides.
