Karaoké Stars and the Moon Songs for a New World (musical)

I met a man without a dollar to his name who had no traits of any value but his smile

I met a man who had no yearn or claim to fame

Who was content to let life pass him for a while

And I was sure that all I ever wanted was a life like the movie stars led

But he kissed me right here and he said

I'll give you stars and the moon and a soul to guide you and a promise I'll never go

I'll give you hope to bring out all the life inside you and the strength that will help you grow

I'll give you truth and a future that's twenty times better than any Hollywood plot

And I thought You know

I'd rather have a yacht

I met a man who lived his life out on the road

Who left a wife and kids in Portland on a whim

I met a man whose fire and passion always showed

Who asked if I could spare a week to ride with him

And I was sure that all I ever wanted was a life that was scripted and planned

And he said

But you don't understand

I'll give you stars and the moon and the open highway and a river beneath your feet

I'll give you days full of dreams if you travel my way and a summer you can't repeat

I'll give you nights full of passion and days of adventure

No strings

Just warm summer rain

And I thought You know

I'd rather have champagne

I met a man who had a fortune in the bank

Who had retired at age thirty

Set for life

I met a man and didn't know which stars to thank

And then he asked one day if I would be his wife

And I looked up and all that I could think of was the life I had dreamt

I would live

And I said to him

What will you give

I'll give you cars and a townhouse in Turtle Bay and a fur and a diamond ring

And we'll be married in Spain on my yacht today and we'll honeymoon in Beijing

And you'll meet stars at the parties I throw at my villas in Nice and Paris in June

And I thought Okay

And I took a breath

And I got my yacht

And the years went by

And it never changed

And it never grew

And I never dreamed

And I woke one day

And I looked around

And I thought

My God

I'll never have the moon
