Today I chipped a piece out of the sun,
brought it to her shining.
So she'd see the wondrous
thing that I had done.
She said, don't bring me sun,
bring me moon.
And I said, all right, I'll be back soon
Tonight I went as high as I could fly
Reached the moon and touched it
And removed a piece
I thought would catch
her eye
She said, I've changed my mind,
I want star
And I said, all right, but I'll be gone a while,
cause it's quite far
And my heart heard a voice as
I looked high above
Saying love can bring gifts
But gifts can't bring love
Tomorrow I'll return with
empty hands
Listening to her weeping
When she doesn't get the gifts
that she demands
She'll say,
don't come back without star
And I'll say, all right,
your loneliness will show you where you are
And my heart heard a voice as
I looked high above
Saying love can bring gifts,
but gifts can't bring love
Tomorrow I'll return with empty hands,
listening to her weeping
When she doesn't get the
gifts that she demands
She'll say,
don't come back without star
And I'll say, all right
