Shine On Lyrics - Chris De Burgh

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; 

Photos 

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 

For the children 

Leave here a new world 

Burning like a fire in the night;
