| I must have known that it existed
|
| But I couldn’t quite conceive it —
|
| I was always the loser in affairs of the heart
|
| Well, you know how when you find something that you want
|
| You don’t believe it
|
| No, you can’t quite believe it when the good times start
|
| I used to think of love as just a dream that disappears
|
| But you’ve taught me more tonight than I have learned in all those years
|
| As long as the moon can keep on shining
|
| And the sun keeps hanging in the sky
|
| No one can take what flows between us — no one alive
|
| As long as the moon can keep on shining
|
| And the years keep rolling slowly by
|
| You’ll be a friend of mine, as long as the moon can shine
|
| Some people search for people and some people search for freedom
|
| And some search for nothing, but the thrill of the chase
|
| Well, you know sometimes you search for things
|
| Just to find that you don’t need them
|
| Or you search for the right things in the wrong kind of place
|
| I used to think of love as just a promise people make
|
| Or a game that people play or just a risk that people take…
|
| But, as long as the moon can keep on shining
|
| And the sun keeps hanging in the sky
|
| No one can take what flows between us — no one alive
|
| As long as the moon can keep on shining
|
| And the years keep rolling slowly by
|
| You’ll be a friend of mine, as long as the moon can shine…
|
| As long as the moon can shine |
