Jay-z - The Moon And The Sky lyrics

rate me

I was the one

I who could, pull in all the stars above

Lay them on your feet, and I gave you my love

You are the one who got me started

You could have let me love anyone but I only wanted you

So why did he make me cry

Why didn't you come get me one last time

You'll always know

The reason why

We could have had the moon and the sky

You'll always know

The reason why this love, reason why this love

Ain't gon' let you go

You lay me down

Left me for alliance

A long long time ago

You left me there dying

But you'll never let me go

You'll always know

The reason why

We could have had the moon and the sky

You'll always know

The reason why this love, reason why this love

Ain't gon' let you go

I know we could have had it all

I wasn't ready to go steady no not at all

Smoke and mirrors clouded my vision we hit a wall

Couldn't see the moon and the sky behind the fog

Pregnant pause

Damn your baby tall, what you been up to

I don't blame you my doll

Yeah, we kinda stalled

As God as my witness, timin' was my mistress

I guess it's in the stars for me to love you from a distance

Uh, our ship sail, uh, the wind blows

The door's always open but our window was closed

You always thought "What if?"

But that'll just drive you crazy baby, girl interrupted

Thinkin' 'bout what wasn't

Thinkin' 'bout what was it?

Was it somethin' I done?

Somethin' I could do better although nothin' could be done

Sometimes you get what you need

Now what you think you want?

So baby no moon and sky, got a beautiful sun

You'll always know the reason why

The song you heard, will stay on your mind

It ain't gon' let you go, no

Cuz you are the moon and I the endless sky

You'll always know

The reason why

We could have had the moon and the sky

You'll always know

The reason why this love, reason why this love

Ain't gon' let you go

You have the keys to the car

You have every star

Everyone of them twinkling

Baby, what were you thinking?
