  • 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've 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

    You let 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

    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 have removed the light in the 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 goin' let you go
    You had the keys to car (you'll always know)
    You had every star (the reason why)
    Everyone of them twinkling (we could have had)
    Baby, what were you thinkin'? (the moon and the sky)
    You'll always know

    We had the moon and the sky above
    And I gave you my love Writer/s: Andrew Hale, Sade Adu, Stuart Matthewman
