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 Ill give you stars and the moon and a soul to guide you And a promise Ill never go Ill give you hope to bring out all the life inside you And the strength that will help you grow Ill give you truth and a future thats twenty times better Than any Hollywood plot. And I thought, You know, Id 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 dont understand ??? Ill give you stars and the moon and the open highway And a river beneath your feet Ill give you day full of dreams if you travel my way And a summer you cant repeat Ill give you nights full of passion and days of adventure No strings, just warm summer rain. And I thought, You know, Id 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 didnt 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? Ill give you cars and a townhouse in Turtle Bay And a fur and a diamond ring And well be married in Spain on my yacht today And well honeymoon in Beijing And youll 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 Ill never have the moon.
