Lyrics:
Can’t take it no more
I’m going crazy
Is this a game or is it love
Please tell me, baby
I want you with me
I see it clearly: you and me
Eternity
When the stars kiss the skies
I’d love to see them in your eyes
Could I ring you up tonight
Maybe now’s not a good time
Praying the moon reaches to the stars
Hold me in your arms
I wanna lie here close to you
Don’t leave so soon
Can’t take it no more
You’re being so cruel
Is this a game or is it love
Quit playing the fool
Let’s try to be real
(This has to be real)
So open up and let me know
Just how you feel
When the stars kiss the sky
I’d love to see them in your eyes
To tell you that we’re more than friends
Hope I don’t sound too desperate
Praying the moon reaches to the stars
That we don’t tear apart
There’s so much of my love to see
If you stay with me
When the stars kiss the skies
I’d love to see them in your eyes
Could I ring you up tonight
Maybe now’s not a good time
Praying the moon reaches to the stars
Hold me in your arms
I wanna lie here close to you
Don’t leave so soon
I’ve never felt like…
I’ve never felt like…
Baby stay with me…
You gotta tell now
Your love came all over me

*takes a deep breath* Hi folks! It's been a while, hasn't it? I thought I'd start off the new year right with one of the covers from my Persona EP. It'll feature covers of songs from Persona 3 thru 5 (get hype). This EP will be out in the Spring! I have plenty of songs in mind for it, but I'm going to start small for now. AND... YES. Mama knows that several of her covers got blocked. Mother knows everything that goes on on her channel. Mother will take care of it, but mother needs as much help as possible to recreate those instrumentals so she can re-upload those songs. Mom would really appreciate it if you could support her covers by pledging to her Patreon (link in description). Patreon is the biggest reason for why I can upload music. The more supporters I get, the more song covers I can dish out. In the meantime, I ask that you have patience. I will try to get everything sorted out, but that's gonna take some time. Anyway, see you all later! I'm extremely active on twitter so if you have that, and you love me, you should follow @sapphberry.

[@atlastpeace]

Good for jazz yea. Its deep and sultry for it

[@C0pium]

When I first got into Persona, I legit thought she was the actual singer

[@coldDrive]

Ok, storytime. P3 came to the west when I was just starting college, and I played it with a friend of mine, passing the controller back and forth, laughing at the awkwardness of the social links and figuring out the english translation between the two because neither of us was fluent. It all created a weird kinship, and we started dating before even finishing the game. This, "When the Moon...", was our favourite song from the game and it became our song. Two years later, after living together for most of it, we parted ways. I got the P3Reincarnation CD as a farewell gift. I like this song. But not as much as I should. Thank you, Sapphire.

As a Japanese-speaking fan that loves this BGM, I'd like to say that we do know the original English lyrics sound awkward at best, so it's a huge pleasure to hear the lyrics re-interpreted by English-speaking fellow fans.

[@TRSCARLET]

Honestly i feel like the lyrics in this cover is kinda of its own thing compared to the original.

[@user-qn9kt1ec3y]

@@TRSCARLET yeah it's another piece of art

[@MorfsPrower]

@@TRSCARLET It is, but it's also pretty parallel too. It's a great rendition and personally I like it more. Most mixes of this song are bangers though, hard to ruin magic as such.

Listening to this because of the p3 remake. When the Moon reaches out to stars is my favorite p3 song and while I cannot wait to hear ths remake version it pains me knowing it won't be as amazing as this one.

[@rapidriver]

Hearing the new version of "When the Moon Reaches Out to the Stars" in Reload I was momentarily reminded of your cover. Still love this cover!
