I can't promise it's in the same key as Jason wrote it, as I don't have the sheet music
a piano. But I wanted to play it so I've been singing with these chords and I really
the sound. It's perfect in the lower soprano range as I have it tabbed here.
Hopefully you'll like it, too!
DI met a man without a Amdollar to his name
who had no Ctraits of any value but his Dsmile
DI met a man who had no Amyearn or claim to fame
who was coCntent to let life pass him for a Dwhile
Amand I was sure that Emall I ever wanted
was a Clife like the movie stars Amled
and he Emkissed me right here, and he Asaid
"I'll giveD you stars and the moon and a soul to guide you
and a Gpromise I'll never go.
I'll give you Dhope to bring out all the life inside you
and the Gstrength that will help you grow.
I'll give you Dtruth and a future that's twenty times better
than Gany Hollywood Aplot."
And I thought, A'You know, I'd rather have a Dyacht.'
DI met a man who lived his Amlife out on the road
who left a Cwife and kids in Portland on a Dwhim
DI met a man whose fire and Ampassion always showed
who asked if CI could spare a week to ride with Dhim
Ambut I was sure that all I'd ever Emwanted
was a Clife that was scripted and Amplanned
And he Emsaid, "But you dAon't understand...
I'll give you Dstars and the moon and the open highway
and a Griver beneath your feet.
I'll give you Ddays full of dreams if you travel my way
and a Gsummer you can't repeat.
I'll give you Dnights full of passion and days of adventure,
No sGtrings, just warm summer Arain."
And I thought, 'AYou know, I'd rather have Dchampagne.'
DI met a man who had a Amfortune in the bank
who had Cretired at age thirty, set for Dlife.
DI met a man and didn't Amknow which stars to thank,
and then he Casked one day if I would be his Dwife.
AmAnd I looked up, and all I could Emthink of
was the Clife I had dreamt I would Amlive.
And I said to Emhim, 'What will you Agive?'
"I'll giveD you cars and a townhouse in Turtle Bay,
and a Gfur and a diamond ring.
And we'll be Dmarried in Spain on my yacht today
and we'll Ghoneymoon in Beijing.
And you'll meet Dstars at the parties I throw at my villas
in GNice and Paris in AJune."
and I thought, A"Okay."
And I took a Cbreath,
and I got my Ayacht,
and the years went Cby,
and it never Amchanged,
and it never Emgrew,
and I never Amdreamed...
And I woke one Emday,
and I looked Caround,
and I thought, 'AMy God....
I'll never have the Dmoon.'
