Ain't gon' let you go 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 (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 (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 sailed, 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, get 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 'Cause 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 (Ain't gon' let you go)
