Shine On

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 onbrighter than the sun Live for every momentbefore the moment's gone We shine onyou 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 onbrighter than the sun Live for every momentbefore the moment's gone We shine onyou 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 nightin the night Burning like a fire in the night
