Stars and the Moon |
I met a man without a dollar to his name |
Who had no traits of any value but his smile |
I met a man who had no yearn or claim to fame |
Who was content to let life pass him for a while |
And I was sure that all I ever wanted |
Was a life like the movie stars led |
And he kissed me right here, and he said, |
«I'll give you stars and the moon and a soul to guide you |
And a promise I’ll never go |
I’ll give you hope to bring out all the life inside you |
And the strength that will help you grow. |
I’ll give you truth and a future that’s twenty times better |
Than any Hollywood plot.» |
And I thought, «You know, I’d rather have a yacht.» |
I met a man who lived his life out on the road |
Who left a wife and kids in Portland on a whim |
I met a man whose fire and passion always showed |
Who asked if I could spare a week to ride with him |
But I was sure that all I ever wanted |
Was a life that was scripted and planned |
And he said, «But you don’t understand — |
«I'll give you stars and the moon and the open highway |
And a river beneath your feet |
I’ll give you day full of dreams if you travel my way |
And a summer you can’t repeat. |
I’ll give you nights full of passion and days of adventure, |
No strings, just warm summer rain.» |
And I thought, «You know, I’d rather have champagne.» |
I met a man who had a fortune in the bank |
Who had retired at age thirty, set for life. |
I met a man and didn’t know which stars to thank, |
And then he asked one day if I would be his wife. |
And I looked up, and all I could think of Was the life I had dreamt I would live |
And I said to him, «What will you give?» |
«I'll give you cars and a townhouse in Turtle Bay |
And a fur and a diamond ring |
And we’ll be married in Spain on my yacht today |
And we’ll honeymoon in Beijing. |
And you’ll meet stars at the parties I throw at my villas |
In Nice and Paris in June.» |
And I thought, «Okay.» |
And I took a breath |
And I got my yacht |
And the years went by And it never changed |
And it never grew |
And I never dreamed |
And I woke one day |
And I looked around |
And I thought, «My God… |
I’ll never have the moon.» |
