Píseň: Shine On

Interpret:
Chris De Burgh
Album:
Power Of Ten
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;
Leave here a garden
Leave here a new world
Shine on
