Lyrics
I didn't see it coming. Didn't know what to do.
I'd been living alone for so long, and then suddenly there was you
And the heart that I'd been hiding began to sense it, too.
And before I could hold it within myself, it blindly flew to you
Chorus:
Too fast, too soon. I was Trying to Rope the Moon
There was no way, I know. But I was only going where my heart would have me go.
For a moment we were lovers. I thought you felt it, too.
But you turned and you ran from me, and it broke my heart in two.
I didn't understand it, Why you were running away
I tried to hold on tighter, then you turned to me to say
Chorus:
Too fast, too soon. You're Trying to Rope the Moon
There was no way, I know. But I was only going where my heart would have me go.
Bridge:
Stars in the night fall right out of the skies
They burn so brightly, then disappear before your eyes
Chorus:
Too fast, too soon. Like Trying to Rope the Moon
There was no way, I know
But I was only going where my heart would have me go
Yes, I was only going where my heart would have me go.
