It's funny how you sound as if you're right next door when you're really half a world away.
|
I just can't seem to find the words I'm looking for to say the things that I want to say.
|
I can't remember when I felt so close to you, it's almost more than I can bear.
|
And though I seem a half a million miles from you, you are in my heart and living there.
|
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see, it's the same old sun up in the sky.
|
And your voice in my ear is like heaven to me like the breezes here in old Shanghai.
|
|
There are lovers who walk hand in hand in the park and lovers who walk all alone.
|
There are lovers who lie unafraid in the dark and lovers who long for home.
|
Oh, I couldn't leave you even if I wanted to, you're in my dreams and always near.
|
And especially when I sing the songs I wrote for you, you are in my heart and living there.
|
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see, it's the same old sun up in the sky.
|
And your face in my dreams is like heaven to me just like the breezes here in old Shanghai.
|
|
Shanghai breezes, cool and clearing, evening's sweet caress.
|
Shanghai breezes, soft and gentle, remind me of your tenderness.
|
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see, it's the same old sun up in the sky.
|
And your love in my life is like heaven to me, like the breezes here in old Shanghai.
|
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see, it's the same old sun up in the sky.
|
And your love in my life is like heaven to me, like the breezes here in old Shanghai.
|
Just like the breezes here in old Shanghai
