Gifts
Today I chipped a piece off of the sun
Brought it to you shining
So you'd see the wondrous thing that I had done
You said, "Don't bring me sun, bring me moon"
I said alright
I'll be back soon
Tonight I went as high as I could fly
Reached the moon and touched it
And removed the piece I thought would catch your eye
You said
"I changed my mind
I want a star"
And I said alright
But I'll be gone awhile
'Cause it's quite far
And I was gone awhile
'Cause it's quite far
But also because I realized where you are
Tomorrow I'll return with empty hands
Listen to the weeping of a girl
Who doesn't get what she demands
And you'll say don't come back without star
And I'll say bye bye
Love's the greatest gift I have to give
And if it's not returned
It just can't live
So la-la-la
