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
