Chris De Burgh - Shine On lyrics

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; Shine on Leave here a garden for the children, Leave here a new world, Leave here a garden for the children, Leave here a new world, Leave here a garden, Leave here a new world, Leave here a garden for the children, Leave here a new world
