(no subject)
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
then 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 a strength that'll 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
and 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 days 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 streams, 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 what stars to thank
and then he asked one day if i would be his wife
and i looked up and all that 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 we'll meet stars at the parties
that i throw in 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
who had no traits of any value but his smile
i met a man who had no yearn or claim to fame
