Shanghai Breezes Lyrics

                        SHANGHAI BREEZES  (John Denver)



             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 ears 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 int he 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 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 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...
