I longed for you since I was born A man so sensitive and warm And there you were With pride and strength no one would test But yet have masculine finesse And so much more You took me riding in your rocket, you gave me a star At a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back Down to this cold, cold world You took me riding in your rocket, you gave me a star At a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back Down to this cold, cold world Just like a Shakespeare of your time With looks to blow Picasso's mind You were the best Your body moved with grace and song Like symphonies of Bach or Brahms Nevertheless Oh, you took me riding in your rocket, you gave me a star But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back Down to this cold, cold world Oh, you took me riding in your rocket, you gave me a star At a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back Down to this cold, cold world Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do Do, do, do, do, do, do The passion burning in your heart Would make hell's fire seem like a spark Where did it go? Just why that you would overnight Turn love to stone as cold as ice I'll never, never know Baby, you took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star (Half a mile from heaven) Oh honey, you dropped me back To this cold, cold world (Riding in your rocket, gave me a star) (Half a mile from heaven you dropped me back down) Baby, you dropped me back, oh You took me riding in your rocket, you gave me a star Half a mile from heaven you dropped me back Down to this cold, cold world Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do
