Verse 1: I put that paper in your hand at Christmas time Wallet loaded then with just a handful of dimes Laughed when I said it was your ticket to the rocket Crinkled all up as it slid into your pocket Chorus: Sometimes I look at the Earth below, below And I wish I could have convinced you to go From the launchpad you watched me take flight But, oh, how I'm missing you tonight Verse 2: I traced out the stars, drew us a lunar map But you were convinced that it all was a trap Our future together, I saw it so clear Yet deep inside, you held onto your fear Chorus: Sometimes I look at the Earth below, below And I wish I could have convinced you to go From the launchpad you watched me take flight But, oh, how I'm missing you tonight Bridge: You left me there and said that I was lost That all of my coins weren't worth the cost How I pleaded, how I begged for you to stay Told me to "enjoy my trip" as you went away Chorus: You called me from the Earth below And wished that I had convinced you to go From the launchpad you watched me take flight And, oh, how you're missing me tonight! Bridge: You left me there and said that I was lost That all of my coins weren't worth the cost How I pleaded, how I begged for you to stay Told me to "enjoy my trip" as you went away Chorus: You called me from the Earth below, below And wished that I had convinced you to go From the launchpad you watched me take flight And, oh, how you're missing me tonight!
