We were talking in the dark skies About how people change You told me that you've never found a love That stayed the same You asked me what I was thinking What I was holding in I told you that I never wanted to end up like they did All they say they'll give you the stars, and they'll lasso the moon Well that's just a little too far or a little untrue I hope it's enough, it's the best I can do I can't reach the real one, so I'll make you Paper moon Paper moon Paper moon You can hang it on your ceiling Or keep it by your door I know it doesn't shine as bright at night But it's all yours I promise that I'll love you And it's a promise I can keep I hope you always feel the most at home When you're with me Oh they say they'll give you the stars, and they'll lasso the moon Well that's just a little too far or a little untrue I hope it's enough, it's the best I can do I can't reach the real one, so I'll make you Paper moon Paper moon Paper moon
