[00:01.01]Stars And The Moon - Betty Buckley
[00:09.57]I met a man without a dollar to his name
[00:13.20]Who had no traits of any value but his smile
[00:16.07]
[00:17.76]I met a man who had no yearn or claim to fame
[00:21.19]Who was content to let life pass him for a while
[00:24.32]
[00:26.32]And I was sure that all I ever wanted
[00:29.13]Was a life like the movie stars led
[00:33.64]
[00:34.76]And he kissed me right here, and he said,
[00:40.38]
[00:41.32]"I'll give you stars and the moon and a soul to guide you
[00:45.45]And a promise I'll never go
[00:47.13]I'll give you hope to bring out all the life inside you
[00:51.06]And the strength that will help you grow.
[00:53.12]I'll give you truth and a future that's twenty times better
[00:54.43]Than any Hollywood plot."
[00:55.99]
[00:57.81]And I thought, "You know, I'd rather have a yacht."
[01:03.18]
[01:07.37]I met a man who lived his life out on the road
[01:10.81]Who left a wife and kids in Portland on a whim
[01:13.81]
[01:15.94]I met a man whose fire and passion always showed
[01:18.50]Who asked if I could spare a week to ride with him
[01:23.56]
[01:24.25]But I was sure that all I ever wanted
[01:27.43]Was a life that was scripted and planned
[01:30.12]
[01:31.37]And he said, "But you don't understand ―
[01:35.56]"I'll give you stars and the moon and the open highway
[01:38.44]And a river beneath your feet
[01:40.56]I'll give you day full of dreams if you travel my way
[01:43.25]And a summer you can't repeat.
[01:44.81]I'll give you nights full of passion and days of adventure,
[01:46.81]No strings, just warm summer rain."
[01:49.62]
[01:50.50]And I thought, "You know, I'd rather have champagne."
[01:55.53]
[01:58.09]I met a man who had a fortune in the bank
[02:01.28]Who had retired at age thirty, set for life.
[02:04.83]
[02:06.51]I met a man and didn't know which stars to thank,
[02:10.26]And then he asked one day if I would be his wife.
[02:14.14]
[02:15.08]And I looked up, and all I could think of
[02:18.64]Was the life I had dreamt I would live
[02:21.20]
[02:22.83]And I said to him, "What will you give?"
[02:27.65]
[02:29.15]"I'll give you cars and a townhouse in Turtle Bay
[02:32.40]And a fur and a diamond ring
[02:34.15]And we'll be married in Spain on my yacht today
[02:36.40]And we'll honeymoon in Beijing.
[02:38.84]And you'll meet stars at the parties I throw at my villas
[02:41.90]In Nice and Paris in June."
[02:44.09]
[02:45.21]And I thought, "Okay."
[02:46.68]
[02:48.37]And I took a breath
[02:49.87]And I got my yacht
[02:50.99]And the years went by
[02:52.05]And it never changed
[02:52.99]And it never grew
[02:54.74]And I never dreamed
[02:56.24]And I woke one day
[02:58.49]And I looked around
[02:59.43]And I thought, "My God...
[03:04.81]
[03:06.74]I'll never have the moon."
