Manhattan Mooncake Sung by Ryland & Hai-Ting
Written by Ryland Angel & Michael Murphy
Man:
My heart is as warm as my oven set to four hundred degrees
With a trembling hand my jelly roll pan now standing by lightly greased
How could this girl bring my life to a boil like this water and margerine
I don’t even know if she knows so tonight means everything
Moon high over Manhattan tell me what you see
While I’m cooking for her is she looking at you and dreaming of me
Closer to heaven is closer to her and where I dream to be
Manhattan Mooncake make her fall for me
Woman:
Don’t break down break the eggs one at a time, beat well after each.
I’m not ready for this but my pan is prepared so I spread out evenly
Baking for 20 to 25 wond’ring if I’m a lover or fool
With all of my life overheating I set aside to cool
Moon high over Manhattan tell me what you see
While I’m cooking for him is he looking at you and dreaming of me
Closer to heaven is closer to him and where I dream to be
Manhattan mooncake make him fall for me
M: I’m nothing like her W: He’s nothing like me
Both: Still something tells me we’d blend perfectly
Like the pudding the milk and cream cheese
M: Inside I’m burning but my crust is cool
W: I top and drizzle and follow every rule
B: Slide in the fridge and pray something served cold
Can warm (can warm) a heart of gold
Moon high over Manhattan now I know you see
I was cooking for (her/him) (s)he was looking at you and dreaming of me
Closer to heaven is closer to you and where I’ll always to be
Manhattan Mooncake made you fall for me
Manhattan Mooncake made you fall for me
