Once I held a moon lyrics

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 boy

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 as gone

Once I held a moon

And by its light I loved

And he loved me

But it means nothing to moons you see

Once I held a moon

Once I held a moon
