I don't seem to be understanding the paradox. The lit side of the moon is the top side at sunset when the sun is behind you and the moon is in front of you? But if the moon and the sun were in the same direction it would be the bottom side. It's still facing the sun, it just looks opposite to you because you turned yourself around to face the other way.
