As Long as the Moon Can Shine

I must have known that it existed
But I couldn't quite conceive it -
I was always the loser in affairs of the heart

Well, you know how when you find something that you want
You don't believe it
No, you can't quite believe it when the good times start

I used to think of love as just a dream that disappears
But you've taught me more tonight than I have learned in all those years

As long as the moon can keep on shining
And the sun keeps hanging in the sky
No one can take what flows between us - no one alive

As long as the moon can keep on shining
And the years keep rolling slowly by
You'll be a friend of mine, as long as the moon can shine

Some people search for people and some people search for freedom
And some search for nothing, but the thrill of the chase
Well, you know sometimes you search for things
Just to find that you don't need them
Or you search for the right things in the wrong kind of place

I used to think of love as just a promise people make
Or a game that people play or just a risk that people take...

But, as long as the moon can keep on shining
And the sun keeps hanging in the sky
No one can take what flows between us - no one alive

As long as the moon can keep on shining
And the years keep rolling slowly by
You'll be a friend of mine, as long as the moon can shine...

As long as the moon can shine
