jason robert brown - stars and the moon lyrics

Loading...

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 p-ss 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 p-ssion 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 p-ssion 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.”
