Sad Sad Moon
To love you, you want the moon.
To be with you, you demand I sing your tune.
I have denied myself time and again,
And yet you still treat me with the same disdain.
Tell me, how long can love last when ignored?
You were the one I once loved and adored!
But now, after giving you the moon, my soul, my all
I have come to realize I have nowhere left to fall.
So take your moon and treat it right.
And, perhaps someday you’ll feel the slight
Of love cast away....
And beg your lover not to stray.
