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."
