The Moon and the Sky lyrics

I was the one
I who could
Pull in all the stars above
Lay them on your feet
And I gave you my love (ain't gon' let you go)
You are the one that got me started
You coulda let me
Love anyone, but I only wanted you
So why did it make me cry?
Why didn't you come get me one last time?
You'll always know
The reason why
We couldn't have
The moon and the sky
You'll always know
The reason why this love
The reason why this love
Ain't gon' let you go
You laid me down and left me for lions
Long, long time ago
You left me there dyin'
(Ain't gon' let you go)
But you'll never let me go
You'll always know
The reason why
We couldn't have
The moon and the sky
You'll always know
The reason why this love
The reason why this love
Ain't gon' let you go
You'll always know the reason why
The song you heard will stay on your mind
It ain't gon' let you go, no
'Cause you have the moon
And I, the endless sky
You'll always know
The reason why
We couldn't have
The moon and the sky
You'll always know
The reason why this love
The reason why this love
(Ain't gon' let you go)
(Ain't gon' let you go)
You had the dreams in your palm (you'll always know)
You had every star (the reason why)
Every one of them twinklin' (we couldn't have)
Baby what were you thinkin'? (the moon and the sky)
(You'll always know)
We had the moon and the sky above
And I gave you my love
