Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was the one
I who could
Pull in the stars above
Lay them on your feet
And I gave you my love
[Verse 2]
You are the one that got me started
You could have let me
Love anyone, but I only wanted you
So why did you make me cry?
Why didn't you come get me one last time?
[Verse 3]
You'll always know
The reason why
We could have had
The moon and the sky
You'll always know
The reason why this love
Reason why this love
Ain't gonna let you go
[Verse 4]
You lay me down
Left me for alliance
A long, long time ago
You left me there dying
But you'll never let me go
[Verse 5]
You'll always know
The reason why
We could have had
The moon and the sky
You'll always know
The reason why this love
The reason why this love
Ain't gonna let you go
Ain't gonna let you go
[Verse 6]
I know we could have had it all
I wasn't ready to go steady
No, not at all
Smokey mirrors clouded my vision
We hit a wall
Couldn't see the moon and the sky
Behind the fog
Pregnant, pause
Damn your baby tall
What you been up to?
I don't blame you, my dog
Yeah, we kind of stalled 'em
As God as my witness
Timing was my mistress
I guess it's in the stars
For me to love you from a distance
Ah, our ship sailed
Ah, the wind blows
The doors always open
But our window has closed
You always thought what if
But that'll just drive you crazy, baby
Girl, interrupt it
Thinking about, what wasn't
Thinking about, what wasn't
Was it something I've done?
Something I could do better?
Although nothing could be done
Sometimes you get what you need
Not what you think you want
So maybe no morning sky
Yet a beautiful sun
Uh
[Verse 7]
You'll always know
The reason why
The song you heard
Will stay on your mind
Ain't gonna let you go
No
[Verse 8]
'Cause you were the moon
And I the endless sky
You'll always know
The reason why
We could have had
The moon and the sky
You'll always know
We had the moon and the sky above
And I gave you my love
(Ain't gon' let you go)
