No Sale!

\nAs we cuddled in the moonlight and we dreamed each other’s dreams,
\nDid I hear myself proclaiming, that however hard it seems,
\nI would buy you any present that you thought you could desire?
\nNow I’m stuck with such a problem that my addled brain’s on fire.
\nFor you told me as I held you, you had everything on Earth –
\nThere was nothing I could give you that would prove my greater worth,
\nBut you sighed and eyed me slowly as we wrapped in our cocoon,
\nThat the only thing you wanted was to own the silver moon.<\/p>\n
So I stood out in the garden, on a clear and star-filled night,
\nAnd I waited till the moon had gently faded out of sight.
\nThen I whispered quite politely, told the sky my foolish tale,
\nAll the stars soon gave an answer that “The Moon is not for Sale”.
\n“She is there above all lovers and she watches all their trysts,
\nSpreading moondust on their meetings, hiding secrets with her mists.”
\nBut the moon then interrupted and she whispered something new,
\nThat as long as we’re together, she belonged to me and you.<\/p>\n
So we cuddle in the moonbeams bathed in light we clearly own
\nAnd on nights that you’re not with me I can never feel alone.
\nFor the moonlight that caresses doesn’t shine for other men,
\nIt is just your way of saying that you’ll soon be here again.
\nNever mind what people tell you, what the Moon says can’t be wrong,
\nThere is nothing that can change things if you will not play along,
\nFor I’m yours for all the future and my love shall never fail
\nAnd as long as you still want me then our Moon is not for sale.<\/p>\n
