Shine On lyrics

Lyrics

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;

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
