The last time I saw her was the night she said goodbye. She said that love's a stranger and it's sure to pass you by. As she packed up her belongings, she wouldn't look me in the eye, but I could see a tear roll off her face. As we both tried so hard not to cry she said, “I never wanted the stars, I never shot for the moon, I like them right where they are. All I wanted was you, so baby; just turn away because I can't face the truth. All I'm trying to say is all I wanted was you.”
I tried so hard to remember where when how why love went away. I tried to drown myself in pity but the whiskey kept calling your name.
I bought you fancy cars and diamond rings, all the things that money brings, and the servants to paint the sky blue and I worked so hard seven days a week and built a fortress for your heart to keep. If I could I'd wrap these words up for you; I never wanted the stars, I never shot for the moon, I like them right where they are. All I wanted was you, so baby; just turn away because I can't face the truth. All I'm trying to say is all I wanted was you.
I may have built for you a dream house but never thought you were alone. I filled the party up with company, but never made our house a home. All I got is my guitar these chords and the truth all I got is my guitar ... but all I want is you.
I want you. All I ever wanted was you. I didn't ever need presents. I want love, your love. I want you to show me, tell me how you feel. I want to see it in your eyes. I want to hear it in your voice. I want to fall in love with you all over again every time you look in my eyes. I may have complained because you didn't get me a card. (it would have been nice) but honestly all I've really ever wanted was you. Sometimes you tried to hard, others it wasn't enough. Honey, I just want you. It's not too late.
