FAWM 2020 #13: New Moon

Filk, intended to be sung to either "Blue Moon" or "Memories" (I get them mixed up in my head: I like the lydian fourth, anyway). From this tweet:

"BIG NEWS (thread 1/3). Earth has a new temporarily captured object/Possible mini-moon called 2020 CD3. On the night of Feb. 15, my Catalina Sky Survey teammate Teddy Pruyne and I found a 20th magnitude object. Here are the discovery images." https://t.co/zLkXyGAkZl

Lyrics

New moon, we're so delighted you're captured,
Our gazing hearts are enraptured,
At the sight of your beam.

New moon, to spy you's all we have longed for;
And now we've written the song for
To show you just what we mean.

Your path, which was once quite erratic, is now
Centered on Earth's lovely mass.
To see you we've been kind of frantic,
But now we see... you... at last.

New Moon, your orbit may not be stable,
But for as long as we're able,
We'll hold you in hight esteem.
