The Moon, the Stars and Heaven, Too
Over the moon I threw a rope
to drag it down to give to thee.
This I did with a hope
that you would come to love me.
I pulled two stars from the skies
to give to you to show my love.
They paled compared to your eyes
and so I sent them back above.
For your love I would do
anything you asked of me.
If, my love, you only knew.
If, my love, you could see.
The stars, the moon and heaven, too.
There's nothing I would not give to you.
