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
."
