It's funny how you sound as if you're right next door
There are lovers who walk hand in hand in the park

when you're really half a world away
and lovers who walk all alone

I just can't seem to find the words I'm looking for
There are lovers who lie unafraid in the dark

to say the things that I want to say
and lovers who long for home

I can't remember when I felt so close to you
Oh, I couldn't leave you even if I wanted to

it's almost more than I can bear
you're in my dreams and always near

And though I seem a half a million miles from you
And especially when I sing the songs I wrote for you

you're in my heart and living there
you're in my heart and living there

And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see

it's the same old sun up in the sky
it's the same old sun up in the sky
it's the same old sun up in the sky
it's the same old sun up in the sky

And your voice in my ear is like heaven to me
And your face in my dreams is like heaven to me
And your love in my life is like heaven to me
And your love in my life is like heaven to me

like the breezes here in old Shanghai
like the breezes here in old Shanghai

like the breezes here in old Shanghai
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
