Title: Shine On
Lyrics Shine OnI 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 |
