As Long As the Moon Can Shine - Justin Hayward

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
