[00:14.979]I met a man without a dollar to his name
[00:19.809]Who had no traits of any value but his smile
[00:27.707]I met a man who had no yearn or claim to fame
[00:32.690]Who was content to let life pass him for a while
[00:39.677]And I was sure that all I ever wanted
[00:44.774]Was a life like the movie stars led
[00:52.009]But he kissed me right here
[00:56.136]And he said
[01:01.111]"I'll give you stars and the moon and a soul to guide you
[01:05.219]And a promise I'll never go
[01:08.158]I'll give you hope to bring out all the life inside you
[01:11.174]And the strength that will help you grow
[01:13.756]I'll give you truth and a future that's twenty times better
[01:17.148]Than any Hollywood plot"
[01:22.859]And I thought,
[01:23.907]"You know, I'd rather have a yacht"
[01:34.427]I met a man who lived his life out on the road
[01:39.214]Who left a wife and kids in Portland on a whim
[01:46.376]I met a man whose fire and passion always showed
[01:51.279]Who asked if I could spare a week to ride with him
[01:58.825]But I was sure that all I could ever think of
[02:02.656]Was a life that was scripted and planned
[02:09.989]And he said,
[02:13.306]"But you don't understand—"
[02:17.047]"I'll give you stars and the moon and the open highway
[02:21.403]And a river beneath your feet
[02:24.246]I'll give you days full of dreams if you travel my way
[02:27.072]And a summer you can't repeat
[02:29.859]I'll give you nights full of passion and days of adventure
[02:32.822]No strings, just warm summer rain"
[02:39.121]And I thought,
[02:40.111]"You know I'd rather have champagne"
[02:50.940]I met a man who had a fortune on the bank
[02:55.614]Who had retired at age thirty, set for life
[03:02.031]I met a man who didn't know which stars to thank
[03:06.923]And then he asked one day if I could be his wife
[03:13.561]And I looked up, and all that I could think of
[03:18.478]Was the life I had dreamt I would live
[03:25.372]And I said to him, "Well, what will you give?"
[03:33.052]"I'll give you cars and a townhouse in Turtle Bay
[03:37.858]And a fur and a diamond ring
[03:40.688]And we'll get married in Spain on my yacht today
[03:43.925]And we'll honeymoon in Beijing
[03:46.346]And you'll meet stars at the parties I throw at my villas
[03:49.629]In Nice and Paris in June"
[03:55.130]And I thought, "Okay"
[03:58.145]And I took a breath
[04:01.011]And I got my yacht
[04:04.402]And the years went by
[04:06.698]And it never grew
[04:10.345]And it never changed
[04:14.511]And I never dreamed
[04:17.374]And I woke one day
[04:21.264]And I looked around
[04:24.208]And I thought,
[04:26.782]"My God I'll never have the moon"
