Chris De Burgh - Shine On Lyrics lyrics

rate me

I was looking at a photograph,

Taken in a garden long before the war,

And out on the lawn,

There were old men and dogs and little children,

All of them gone forever;

And there were people by the waterside,

Standing in the same place where I am today,

Nothing has changed - but you know,

That time is moving like a river,

It can only be love forever;

We shine on, brighter than the sun,

Live for every moment, before the moment's gone,

We shine on, you and me tonight,

Way across the universe,

Burning like a fire in the night;

There are those who can never cross,

The space between a father and a son,

When they are young,

We must say all the words that should be spoken,

Before they are lost forever;

And I was looking at a photograph,

Taken from a window way above the world,

And we've got to learn,

We must leave here a garden for our children,

When we are gone forever;

We shine on, brighter than the sun,

Live for every moment, before the moment's gone,

We shine on, you and me tonight,

Way across the universe,

Burning like a fire in the night;

Leave here a garden for the children,

Leave here a new world,

In the night, in the night,

Burning like a fire in the night.
