Lyrics
0:05Live for every moment before the moment's gone
0:11We shine on you and me tonight
0:17Way across the universe
0:20Burning like a fire in the night;
0:30I was looking at a photograph
0:32Taken in a garden long before the war
0:37And out on the lawn
0:40There were old men and dogs and little children
0:46All of them gone forever;
0:53And there were people by the waterside
0:56Standing in the same place where I am today
1:01Nothing has changed - but you know
1:06That time is moving like a river
1:10It can only be love forever;
1:28We shine on brighter than the sun
1:35Live for every moment before the moments gone
1:40We shine on you and me tonight
1:47Way across the universe
1:49Burning like a fire in the night;
2:05There are those who can never cross
2:07The space between a father and a son
2:13When they are young
2:16We must say all the words that should be spoken
2:22Before they are lost forever;
2:29And I was looking at a photograph
2:32Taken from a window way above the world
2:37And we've got to learn
2:39We must leave here a garden for our children
2:46When we are gone forever;
3:03We shine on brighter than the sun
3:10Live for every moment before the moments gone
3:15We shine on you and me tonight
3:22Way across the universe
3:25Burning like a fire in the night;
3:40Shine on Leave here a garden for the children
3:56Leave here a new world
4:02Leave here a garden for the children
4:08Leave here a new world
4:14Leave here a garden
4:26Leave here a new world
4:38Leave here a garden for the children
4:44Leave here a new world
4:50Leave here a garden
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; And 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 moments 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 And 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 moments gone We shine on you and me tonight Way across the universe Burning like a fire in the night; Shine on Leave here a garden for the children Leave here a new world Leave here a garden for the children Leave here a new world Leave here a garden Leave here a new world Leave here a garden for the children Leave here a new world Leave here a garden
