Maybe You Said It To the Moon
Maybe You Said it to the Moon
Maybe you said it to the moon
maybe you shouted it to the stars above
maybe you wrote it in the sand
but did your really touch anybody’s hand?
Maybe you don’t know where the river flows
but when you take someone’s hand, you can hear
an echo rebound within your heart loud and clear
and then a starry symphony does suddenly glow.
Maybe you blew it in the wind
maybe you drummed it all over the rooftops
maybe you tossed it in the waves
but did you seize a chance and then dared to dance?
And when you close your eyes is there
the soft brush of a lone shooting star?
A promised touch did you suddenly feel
like a raindrop of sunshine coming from afar?
Maybe you said it to the moon
maybe you shouted it to the stars
maybe you wrote it in the sand
maybe you blew it in the wind . . .
But did you ever say the words?
Were you ever willing to dance?
Did you ever really take a chance?
Were you willing to change a life?
back to the beginning
(lyric – you can sing along as you listen to Yiruma’s piano piece)
