Once I held a moon

Once I held a moon, a lover's gift

If memory serves me right

Once I owned a sky where moons could drift

And bathe my world in light

I held onto to that moon

as long as he was there Just holding me

But it means nothing to moons you see

Once I held a moon,

a lover's was not his to give This is life he said,

enjoy But it wasn't mine to live

I let the moon slips through my finger

And my love let go of me But it means nothing to moons you see

They sail through the night

and you follow You hitch up your heart To that moon like a cart

It's all you know

how You're faced with your pride

but can't swallow

You lift up your spoon

And you howl at the moon that it shouldn't have shone

and that you are not as gone

Once I held a moon

And by its light I loved

And he loved me

But it means nothing to moons you see

Once I held a moon Once I held a moon
