Introduction
You ever hear a song that just grabs you by the heart and says, “Hey, let’s take a ride—somewhere big, somewhere wild”? That’s From Here to the Moon and Back for me. It’s not just a melody; it’s a promise wrapped in chords, the kind of tune you’d play on a late-night drive with the windows down or when you’re staring up at the stars, wondering how far love can stretch. I picture it as this big, warm hug of a song—simple words, sure, but laced with that ache and wonder we all feel when someone means the world to us.
It’s got this vibe, you know? Like it’s born from a moment—maybe two people sitting on a porch swing, laughing about nothing, or maybe one of them whispering, “I’d go anywhere for you.” That’s the soul of it: distance doesn’t matter when the heart’s locked in. The moon’s not just some far-off rock here—it’s the marker of how far you’d go, how much you’d give, just to see them smile. I can almost hear the strum of an acoustic guitar kicking it off, soft and steady, then a voice—maybe a little rough around the edges—singing about a love that’s too big for this planet.
What gets me is how it could feel both timeless and right-now. It’s the kind of song you’d swear your grandparents danced to in some smoky ‘50s diner, yet it could blast through your earbuds today and still make your chest tighten. It’s not about fancy tricks or over-the-top production—just raw, real emotion. The chorus? Oh, it’d lift you up, something like, “From here to the moon and back, I’d cross the sky, no turning back.” Catchy, but deep enough to stick with you.
And the story behind it—well, I imagine it’s one of those songs that started with a scribbled line on a napkin, born from someone who couldn’t sleep because they were too busy dreaming about “the one.” It’s personal, like a secret you only tell your best friend. Maybe it’s about a soldier promising to come home, or a dreamer chasing a crazy, beautiful “what if.” Whatever it is, it’s got that spark—something that makes you wanna hit replay and live in it a little longer.
So, what do you think? Does it make you feel that pull—like you’d climb the stars for someone? That’s what this song’s about: love that doesn’t quit, no matter how far the journey

Lyrics
I could hold out my arms, say, “I love you this much”
I could tell you how long I will long for your touch
How much and how far would I go to prove
The depth and the breadth of my love for you?
From here to the moon and back
Who else in this world will love you like that?
Love everlasting, I promise you that
From here to the moon and back
From here to the moon and back
I want you to know you can always depend
On promises made and love without end
No need to wonder how faithful I’ll be
Now and on into eternity
From here to the moon and back
Who else in this world will love you like that?
Forever and always, I’ll be where you’re at
From here to the moon and back
From here to the moon and back
I would blow you a kiss from the star where I sat
I would call out your name to echo through the vast
Thank heaven for you and to God, tip my hat
From here to the moon and back
And I’ll spend forever just proving that fact
From here to the moon and back
From here to the moon and back
