Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I longed for you since I was born
A woman sensitive and warm
And that you were
With pride and strength no one would test
But yet have feminine finesse
And so much more
[Verse 2]
You took me riding in your rocket
Gave me a star
But at a half a mile from heaven
You dropped me back down to this cold, cold world
Took me riding in your rocket
Gave me a star
But at a half a mile from heaven
You dropped me back down to this cold, cold world
[Verse 3]
A female Shakespeare of your time
With looks to blow Picasso's mind
You were the best
Your body moved with grace and song
Like symphonies by Bach or Brahms
Nevertheless, oh, oh
[Verse 4]
You took me riding in your rocket
You gave me a star
But at a half a mile from heaven
You dropped me back down to this cold, cold world
Ooh, you took me riding in your rocket
And gave me a star
But at a half a mile from heaven
You dropped me back down to this cold, cold world
[Verse 5]
A passion burning in your heart
Would make house fires seem like a spark
When it goes
Just why that you would overnight
Turn love to stone as cold as ice
I'll never know
[Verse 6]
But you took me riding in your rocket
And gave me a star
But at a half a mile from heaven
You dropped me back down to this cold, cold world
Baby, you took me riding in your rocket
You gave me a star
But at a half a mile from heaven
You dropped me back down to this cold, cold world
Cold, too cold
[Verse 7]
You took me riding in your rocket
And gave me a star
But at a half a mile from heaven
You dropped me back down onto this cold, cold world
Oh, oh, oh
Took me riding in your rocket
And gave me a star
But at a half a mile from heaven
You dropped me back down into this cold, cold world
I would not do that to a dog
[Verse 8]
Took me riding in your rocket
You gave me a star
But at a half a mile from heaven
You dropped me back down to this cold, cold world
Oh, oh, oh
You took me riding in your rocket
Gave me a star
But at a half a mile from heaven
You dropped me back down to this cold, cold world
Whoa, whoa, whoa, baby
Rocket love
