Lyrics
0:04I was looking at a photograph
0:07Taken in a garden long before the war
0:12And out on the lawn
0:15There were old men and dogs and little children
0:22All of them gone forever;
0:29And there were people by the waterside
0:31Standing in the same place where I am today
0:37Nothing has changed - but you know
0:41That time is moving like a river
0:45It can only be love forever;
1:04We shine on brighter than the sun
1:11Live for every moment before the moments gone
1:17We shine on you and me tonight
1:23Way across the universe
1:25Burning like a fire in the night;
1:41There are those who can never cross
1:43The space between a father and a son
1:49When they are young
1:52We must say all the words that should be spoken
1:58Before they are lost forever;
2:06And I was looking at a photograph
2:08Taken from a window way above the world
2:13And we've got to learn
2:17We must leave here a garden for our children
2:23When we are gone forever;
2:41We shine on brighter than the sun
2:47Live for every moment before the moments gone
2:53We shine on you and me tonight
2:59Way across the universe
3:03Burning like a fire in the night;
3:18Shine on Leave here a garden for the children
3:34Leave here a new world
3:50Burning 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 Burning like a fire in the night;
