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 ploy 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 sad he has 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
