talking to the moon

Bruno Mars, a very talented singer with a bluesy voice, has this song about death, "Talking to the Moon". Very wistful, hopeful, and sad.
I can totally relate.
Here are the lyrics:

i know you're somewhere out there, somewhere far away
i want you back
i want you back

my neighbors think i'm crazy, but they don't understand
you're all I had
you're all I had

at night when the stars light up my room
i sit by myself
talking to the moon
trying to get to you
in hopes you're on the other side talking to me too
or am i a fool who sits alone
talking to the moon

i'm feeling like i'm famous, the talk of the town
they say i've gone mad
yeah, i've gone mad

but they don't know what i know cause when the sun goes down
someone's talking back
yeah, they're talking back

at night when the stars light up my room
i sit by myself
talking to the moon
trying to get to you
in hopes you're on the other side talking to me too
or am i a fool who sits alone
talking to the moon

will you ever hear me calling

cause every night i'm talking to the moon
still trying to get to you
in hopes you're on the other side
talking to me too
or am i a fool who sits alone
talking to the moon

i know you're somewhere out there, somewhere far away
