Текст песни Stars and the Moon - Sutton Foster

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
Are the promise I'll never go
I'll give you hope to bring out all the life inside you
You are 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 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 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 30, 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"
