Lyrics Shine On - Chris De Burgh

Shine On

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;
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;
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
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
Leave here a new world
Shine on
