The moon was full of promises, the night air misty and cool Suspended in this moment were the rules I was looking at a mirror pool deep in the eyes of a friend We both had been walking one too many dead ends
You made me laugh and you made me cry And you moved me and I didn't know why You moved me and I didn't know why Cupid's arrow shot from the sky
We sat and talked under the stars and the mountain winds blew cold We went together and we went too far, we grew prematurely old Did you know my hands were shaking as I took my leave We never would be strangers if he was ever in need It was obvious God loved you, it's obvious so do I The simple thing we shared together helped both of us survive
You made me laugh and you made me cry And you moved me and I didn't know why You moved me and I didn't know why Cupid's arrow was aimed too high
Notes Couldn't find the lyrics anywhere, so transcribed from recording on David Blue's CD of which this is the title track. David Blue sang this at Phil Ochs' Memorial tribute at Felt Forum NYC on 28th May 1976. It was first recorded on the album 'Cupid's Arrow' (Asylum 53056) released in 1976. RP jul07
