It's funny how you sound as though you're right next doorWhen you're really half a world awayI just can't seem to find the words I'm looking forTo say the things that I want to sayI can't remember when I felt so close to youIt's almost more than I can bearAnd though I seem half a million miles from youYou are in my heart and living there
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you seeIt's the same old sun up in the skyAnd your voice in my ear is like heaven to meLike the breezes here in old Shanghai
There are lovers who walk hand in hand in the parkAnd lovers who walk all aloneThere are lovers who lie unafraid in the darkAnd lovers who long for homeI couldn't leave you even if I wanted toYou're in my dreams and always nearAnd especially when I sing the songs I wrote for youYou are in my heart and living there
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you seeIt's the same old sun up in the skyAnd your face in my dreams is like heaven to meLike the breezes here in old Shanghai
Shanghai breezes cool and clearing, evening's sweet caressShanghai breezes soft and gentle, remind me of your tenderness
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you seeIt's the same old sun up in the skyAnd your love in my life is like heaven to meLike the breezes here in old Shanghai
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you seeIt's the same old sun up in the skyAnd your love in my life is like heaven to meLike the breezes here in old ShanghaiJust like the breezes here in old Shanghai
