Sade - The Moon And The Sky (Remix) Lyrics
[Verse 1: Sade]
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
So why did he make me cry
Why didn’t you come get me one last time
[Hook]
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
[Verse 2]
You lay me down
Left me for alliance
A long long time ago
You left me there dying
But you’ll never let me go
[Hook]
You’ll always know
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
[Verse 3: Jay-Z]
I know we could have had it all
I wasn’t ready to go steady no not at all
Smoke and mirrors clouded my vision we hit a wall
Couldn’t see the moon and the sky behind the fog
Pregnant pause
Damn your baby tall, what you been up to
Yeah, we kinda stalled
As God as my witness, timin’ was my mistress
I guess it’s in the stars for me to love you from a distance
Uh, our ship sail, uh, the wind blows
The door’s always open but our window was closed
You always thought “What if?”
But that’ll just drive you crazy baby, girl interrupted
Thinkin’ ’bout what wasn’t
Thinkin’ ’bout what was it?
Was it somethin’ I done?
Somethin’ I could do better although nothin’ could be done
Sometimes you get what you need
Now what you think you want?
So baby no moon and sky, got a beautiful sun
[Verse 4: Sade]
You’ll always know the reason why
The song you heard, will stay on your mind
It ain’t gon’ let you go, no
Cuz you are the moon and I the endless sky
[Hook]
[Outro]
You have the keys to the car
You have every star
Everyone of them twinkling
Baby, what were you thinking?

Sade The Moon And The Sky (Remix) Comments
the original instrumental > this .................... o_O
i'm still listening too in december 2019....we miss you sade
Lol boy or girl
I know she’s a girl
She just sounds like a boy because her voice is very deep!!!!!!
Love Sade ♥️♥️♥️♥️
3:21 fucking beautiful 💯🔥 🔥🔥 🔥
Such a beautifully grim real reflection of unconditional lost love😔
Sade is... GODDESS!
Flower 🌻🌺🌹🌷❤️
Haven’t heard this song in years.. I remembered why I loved it so much! I think 40 killed the beat and JayZ lyrics were very fitting with the best. Anyone hating doesn’t appreciate beautiful music. Sade OK’d this!
JAY Z DESTROYED THIS SONG Why is he always forcing himself on tha scene invading good songs and demanding respect? COMPLETELY RUINED THIS SONG WITH STUPID JIBBERISH!
Jay Z killed that shit! He was referencing his relationship with his 1st baby mama who gave birth to a son. Guess he had to get that off his chest.
THE MOON AND THE SKY SADE REMIX......... WHY WHY WHY & NOW IT'S LOST.... 💞❣️💞💋💋🌴
Imagine Sade and a 2pac collab, that would be a classic instantly.
Still listening to this in 2019!!!
Meh, the original was better. JayZ doesn't add anything to this.
I’m so interested in HOW this came to be.
Genius
Sade n jay killed it!
It's fine but breaks the spirit of the original.
Why Jay Z, ?
horrible... jayz phoned it in
Phoned it in? How?
@Alex Parker he sounded wack as hell... Like he didn't even try to let his verse flow with the song
Can we all just agree that this remix is garbage because of Jay-Z and the original is way more better
Just say you don't like poetry and go.
i liked the beat of the original song more. jay z's verse was a good addition !
I cry every time I hear this.❤️
When I heard this song
The message is so simple
When we all talk to GOD"
We don't known what to done
The brick wall is so sterner
So harden on our hearts
When it's like the devil darkness
Cockblocks our interest
Maybe it's something
Love hurts the woman then the man in the relationship
Maybe it's the men hurting many women and leaving the spirits of ourselves within the child
Were just ghost too our women
And alone is the abyss we walk throughout to change
I have always loved Sade's music and lyrics, from the early 80's! Until I heard this song created with Jay Z! She seems to have had a relationship with the Creator, TMH God! But Jay Z seems to have had a relationship with the creature, the beast! I always thought better of her and her music!
Lol what?
Original and remix.. both are amazing !!! 💖
a beautiful son/sun? jay never seizes to amaze me..yrs later I'm understand the verse 🤣🤣🤣
Jay Z Belonged On This. Shut Up. Kanye, 3 Stacks Or T.I As Well Would've Blessed This As Well
40 nailed this production! 🔥🔥🔥
horrible collab
Sade doesn't ever need a ft. but Jay-Z killed it.
big chune
I looove this song !!!!
I don't understand how there's such a sizable population of people who are either too lazy or too unintelligent to even try to understand the things Jay Z says. ANNOTATE PEOPLE.
😆.
Because the intelligent quotient of most people in today's society is below 80. Which explains why the planet is plagued with "R&B/Pop autotune singers" and "mumble rappers" who all sound like "Alvin & The Chipmunks". 😆
This remix is not good for me.I prefer the original sade's solo version.
Go listen to it.
Song was eh until Jay-Z made it good. She shoulda had jay do 2 verses
TripJay21 not even! The song is still fire without him. He did elevate it tho, but even without him it’s my 2nd fav Sade song. After “is it a crime “
love u edel
Drake was supposed to be on this track. jayz got the part over him
And not only that, but Drake and Big Boi both reached out to work with Sade on their albums and she declined.
He was supposed to put us to sleep right?
Perverted Alchemist she DID work with drake, his producer did this very beat for her and drake was there in the studio with them as well as wrote some of the lyrics
You do realize this is a remix not a featuring ?
I think is interesting that Sade would collaborate with Noah Shebib but turn Drake down...
I'm glad she did lol, but still interesting.
When 40's synth and strings chime in at 3:34 that's some moving shit.
Shit how did you pick that up?
can't tell if being sarcastic lol, but a lot of 40's stuff is on the low end or just really quiet
They had to screw up a great song to make a stupid rap song out of it...
this song makes me cry. has such a tragic feel to it
i love this one with jay z
Зачетный трек
Sometimes you get what you need/ not what you think you want/so maybe no moon and sky/ yet a beautiful sun (son) - JAY-Z
nice ending
This is the greatest Jay Z verse I've ever heard and in a long time fan of jay. There's been rumors about him having an illegitimate son with some island girl back in the day especially around the time this song came out. if listen with that in mind his verse makes sense and gives it so much more meaning. Straight chills.
Gives me chills everytime! It's amazing to me. Speaks to my soul.
CC True
Why is everyone complaining about Jay-Z, I thought he was excellent!
love this song
Love this💔💔💔😢😢😢
Digging the new version. I've had this song on repeat for a little bit.
The song was perfect in its original form. I'll pass on this version.
Me too. There are certain songs that shouldn't even feature a rapper with rap lyrics. The original version of the song is perfect just the way it is. Just with Sade.
instrumental is better
some of yall minds are so closed ...........i dont even know if really even listen music
zdogronim you are the closed mind son. somethings are better left in its original packaging. JayZ did not contribute anything to make the song better. i guarantee, i know way more about music than you ever will
I love u sade to mach
It was a decent idea until Jay-Z was chosen ... Andre 3000 would have been way better
Your comment demonstrates your lack of knowledge, you probably favor Trap over real Hip-hop. It's not about hating it's about appreciation of quality. Now carry on kid, you'll grow up soon.
you may exit now.....be gone
What does have a point. Andre3k probably would of had a outstanding verse, but still Jay Z complimented this song quite well, and had a outstanding verse. So you do sound pretty stupid.
Illuminati-Ufo huh andre3000 is as real as they come. Not trying to be a dick, shhhhhh.
love this song! such amazing lyric's!
jay is talkin about his son and his sons mother on this track
'I Guess it's in the stars for me to love you from a distance' Jay Z nailed it. Sade and Jay can never go wrong. One of them night time joint #classic
love that also
.
The Moon and The Sky Lyrics
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 that got me started
You could have let me love anyone, but I only wanted you
So why did you make me cry?
Why didn't you come get me one last time?
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 gonna let you go
You lay me down and 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 gonna let you go
You'll always know the reason why
The song you heard will stay on your mind
It ain't gonna let you go, no
'Cause you were the moon and I the endless 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 gonna let you go
Ain't gonna let you go
You had the keys to the car
(You'll always know)
You had every star
(The reason why)
Every one of them twinkling
(We could have had)
Baby, what were you thinking
(The moon and the sky)
You'll always know
We had the moon and the sky above
And I gave you my love

SADE Helen Folasade Adu, OBE
(Yoruba: Fọláṣadé Adú; born 16 January 1959),
known as Sade (/ʃɑːˈdeɪ/ shah-DAY),
is a British Nigerian singer, songwriter, composer, and record producer.
Following a brief stint of studying fashion design and modelling Adu began back up singing for a band named Pride, during this time she attracted attention from record labels and along with other members left Pride and formed Sade. Following a record deal Sade and her eponymous band released their debut album Diamond Life (1984), the album was a commercial success and sold over six million copies, becoming one of the top-selling debut recordings of the '80s and the best-selling debut ever by a British female vocalist.
Love u soooo much Sade the Queen of soul 👑🇬🇧💯
Love it so much.
This is Shit wtf is Sade thinking of, she don't need a idiot like jay z ruining her music. Sade was class before i heard this v.disappionted in her.
Classic
Awesome production and Jay Z's brilliant guest verse gives the song even more depth... Not to mention Sade's timeless voice!
jz sucked wtf. listen to cashmere thoughts. thats a hit
@Ian Jackson you gay as hell. This is a different vibe song
+Ian Jackson and a different Jay
I won't even listen to this because the talent-less talkers' (yeah you can call him 'rapper' if you'd like) name is attached to it.
you're letting ignorance cloud your vision, you already have a false perception of rappers as "talentless talkers". they're called emcees and they practice an ancient art. dont generalize HipHop with terrible mainstream rap, you make yourself look like an idiot
@MrSNIPINGFREAK is lil wayne dead what is the meaning of Spongebob boss lady
perhaps @Chris Leavy
Hunter Moon
This was sumthin quick.
SADE. .A lot of rappers wanted 2 do sumthin wit her. She declined them all. That song is Truth
i have a wicked visual for this song. i would love to make it one day just to give it out to the world so they can all get their own message from the visual. for now tho it just looks great in my head.
iBEENART same!
DO it! <3
i would be interested.....
Go for it!
Do it champ!
As of now, I thinK I will disown Sade. All of the pure artists are now infected with the collaborating of way overrated commercial rapper virus. First they got to Michael Jackson, then Prince, now Sade. Who's next Jamiroquai? Even tho they're all tainted also. At least she could've chosen a lyricist like Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, Organized Konfusion, Black Thought, Mos Def, or Big Pun when he was alive. But - Noooo, after all these years.... Music is officially dead. :(
What are u talking bout it's not about none of that shit! It's about sales and ithought jay did aite perfect sound for this new age shit feel me?
Nas and Sade should do a song no doubt
@marinas2003 Sade and Andre 3000
+Bonk Caesar I know I'm late but absolutely
KTHREE31 tf you talking about? How do you propose to disown an artist that doesn't know you and most definitely doesn't give a fuck about you?
M.Love me some Sade!!
Anybody that knows good music especially someone who knows hip hop is going to listen to Jay Z's lyrics and know that he did an outstanding job he is a legend to.
Great song
I love this song but PLEASE get Jay-Z off the track.
Brenda Cole there's always the original solo version. it didn't stop existing after this remix, you know...
Go listen to the original and hush
VICTOR ALSO SAY'S SADE IS AMAZING ALL BY HERSELF SHE DOES NOT NEED ANYONE TAGGING ALONG. JAYZ IS ALSO BETTER ALONE!! WHEW WHAT WERE THEY THINKING SAY'S CHRISTINE
Oh No they didn't SADE What Were You Thinking!! Victor say's "WHAT THE"???
Hate Jay-Z's verse but love the mix
That makes zero sense! Certified hater in life.
Honestly i don't get how people can say that Jay's verse wasn't fitting? if you love Sade so much, you would get why she picked him. Jay's ability to make a verse sound so simple while being complex is his strength. Reason why he is known as the master of double entendre. I'm not a fan of R&B much but with Jay on there, it sounds like a masterpiece of lyrics. I'm thinking people who just don't like Jay on it should listen to Sade's only version and leave this version to those who can truly appreciate the mashing of both artist's intellectual and lyrical abilities.
@marinas2003 He's a classic that guy
kva5004 she picked Jay because it would get her name out there more. More publicity.
David cib as if she needed that. She’s got decades of hits Doesn’t need to hang her hopes on his name recognition
Best...
THIS SONG GIVES ME LIFE I CAN'T HELP BUT TO LISTEN TO IT DOZENS OF TIMES DAILY B4 I GET MY FIX!!!! EVEN THOUGH THIS SONG IS OLD I JUST DISCOVERED IT A WEEK AGO AND EVER SINCE I JUST HAVE TO LISTEN TO IT AT LEAST A COUPLE DOZEN TIMES ON REPEAT THE BEAT IS MESMERIZING AND THE LYRICAL FLOW IS SYK!!!! NOW I'M MAD I AINT BEEN KNOWN ABOUT THIS SONG
This song is so legit I love love love this song
Maybe rihanna and sade can have ameeting she got problems too
First heard this song back in beginning of 2011. How I miss that year
Cuban music
Mistake
My favorite song
Loved this song/album before Jay touched it, but I don't hate Jay for this
thumbs up if you just came fromreading 40's interview
na...i came back to admire 40's work., great track ! !
Sade is too fly for Jay Z, sorry.
Incorrect. Jay-Z is as influential if not more than Sade. He complimented the song well. Jay-Z should be considered a poet. His lyrics and words are clever and meaningful.
TheColombianFlower Ouch.
Ivan Dunn How is it that Jay-Z can be on a song with Sade, but it's a big deal if Drake were to do it? Drake sounds good singing and with all due respect to Mr. Carter, rapping and storytelling is his niche. If Drake sings in a track with Sade it could be a Grammy winner. 🏅🏆
@Henry Appiah No
This is one band that dont need anyone on their tracks; Sade sounds better by themselves without any support. The only reason Jay Z got on this is because he kept requesting to get on one of Sade tracks. I guess Sade felt sorry for Jay and considered his request. Jay Z knew what he was doing becasue he knew he would get a bump to his image creating history being the first artist to work with the awe-inspiring and legendary Sade.But yes, please do not work with anyone else Sade you don't need support.
Sade...Please don't work with JayZ anymore....You are so much more substantial and talented than he could ever hope to be....You are so above having that musical hackjob on, or associated with your music, purity and persona....I love you so very much....Jay Z please stay away from the world's most talented and beautiful woman...!!!!! Jay Z stay away from us with your silly lowest common denominator psuedo music....Shame on you America for making this loser famous....!!!!!!
I wholeheartedly agree
Who the fuck are you to tell a Legendary, once in a generation artist who to work with? While in my mind Sade is working on a level of her own, you should not insult Jay-Z. These are artists... they work to express themselves and they will corroborate with whomever they damn so well please.
I'm late but I hope you got all that hate out by now...
Beautiful song. Nice collabo.
Im in love! =)
best song ever !!! <3 even with jay Z
These lyrics are siiiick. You'll always know..
9 in 10. ACD. Ugh.
Sorry but Jay killed this song for me. I like Sade solo.
I love this song ❤
Jay z kills it!!! All haters shut the f*ck up & sit the f*ck down!!!!!
WHOEVRSAID SHE SOUNDED LIKE A MANS NOT GOT GOOD EAR!!!SADE IS UNIQUELY HER OWN GENRE
jay-z verse was wicked
