Glenn Frey: Lovers Moon Meaning

Lovers Moon Lyrics

There's a lover's moon tonight
As I look back over my shoulder
All the stars are shining bright
Just like the nights when I used to hold her
She's out there somewhere under the lover's moon

Lover's moon, won't you shine on me?
I'm dancing...

   Hi, I think I am that girl in "Lover's Moon". Glenn told me he wrote this song, called "Lover's Moon", for me the last time I saw him and I asked him to sing it for me, but he said it wasn't finished yet and he wouldn't sing it to me unless I went home with him to meet his parents. He wanted me to go for 2 1/2 weeks to get to know him better.
   
   He also asked if I would join him in California later in that summer and be his 'muse'. I laughed, and said he meant "a-muse-ment", and he replied, "That, too; would that be so bad?" I replied, "You know that wouldn't happen without a ring (marriage)". He replied, "I know, Diane. That is why I want you to go home with me."
   
   This was two weeks before Easter weekend in 1972. We did love one another, but I was very ill (pesticide poisoning that caused liver damage) and was already engaged to another guy by the time he asked me to go home with him. The marriage was scheduled for June 3rd, 1972.
   
   I asked for his address to remain friends but he told me he didn't want to be friends. I never saw him again, and had no idea the song was ever made into a record until last week, 47 years later!
   
   He addressed the issue about being friends in the song, "Tequila Sunrise", which also referred to me (I think), as "She wasn't just another woman". He told me I was not just another woman a number of times during the time I knew him. We joked about that--I was very to the point and he told me I would keep him in line because he couldn't get anything over on me. I think he wanted me in his life because he feared what would happen to him (drugs, drinking, women....) if he became successful. I couldn't even recognize him once he did become famous. I ached to see him like that.
   
   There was a sunrise the last morning I saw him like a "big red rubber ball",as Glenn put it, and he called it a "tequila sunrise"--a sign that the day was going to be hot. I chided him about his sun and moon references and asked if he had any more meteorologic names tucked away to impress me with. He was so much fun and we joked almost continually when we were together. I have missed him very much.

   This song might be related to your first guess. Perhaps a girl broke up with him in the past. Or he broke up with her in the past.
   
   Possibly they both decided to end their relationship as bf and gf. He still wants to see her even for one more time and he knows she is waiting for him. I think he knows that the girl is waiting for him to make the move. They both love each other but they have to end it for some reason. But they both want to be together even for the last time.
   
   That is all I can say.
