Seasons Of The Heart

It's funny how you sound as if you're right next door 
 when you're really half a world away 
 I just can't seem to find the words I'm looking for 
 to say the things that I want to say 
 I can't remember when I felt so close to you 
 it's almost more than I can bear 
 And though I seem a half a million miles from you 
 you are in my heart and living there 


 And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see 
 it's the same old sun up in the sky 
 And your voice in my ear is like heaven to me 
 like the breezes here in old Shanghai 


 There are lovers who walk hand in hand in the park 
 and lovers who walk all alone 
 There are lovers who lie unafraid in the dark 
 and lovers who long for home 
 Oh, I couldn't leave you even if I wanted to 
 you're in my dreams and always near 
 And especially when I sing the songs I wrote for you 
 you're in my heart and living there 


 And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see 
 it's the same old sun up in the sky 
 And your face in my dreams is like heaven to me 
 like the breezes here in old Shanghai 




 Shanghai breezes cool and clearing 
 evening's sweet caress 
 Shanghai breezes soft and gentle 
 remind me of your tenderness 


 And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see 
 it's the same old sun up in the sky 
 And your love in my life is like heaven to me 
 like the breezes here in old Shanghai 


 And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see 
 it's the same old sun up in the sky 
 And your love in my life is like heaven to me 
 like the breezes here in old Shanghai 
 Just like the breezes here in old Shangha
