Long ago in a place far from here
a boy fell in love with a girl.
He told her how much he loved her
and promised her the world.
"But I already live there" she said
"I cannot be given what I already know
but promise me the moon and stars
and I'll let our tender love grow"
So the boy tried to think of how
to get to the sky above
when an idea came to him
that could only have come out of love
He worked hard night and day
to build a rocket so large
that it would take him and her
out beyond the stars
" I cant get you what you wanted" he said
"but I can get you close
the moon and stars will be yours"
and for a second all time froze
She looked at him with softened eyes
as his hand clasped her own
and she kissed him on the cheek and said
" Now my love for you is grown"
