Its funny how you sound as if youre right next
door
When you?re really half a world away -
I just can?t seem to find the words I?m looking
for
To say the things that I need to say -
I can?t remember when I felt so close to you
It?s almost more than I can bear -
Though I seem a half a million miles from you
You are in my heart and living there -
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you
see
It?s the same old sun up in the sky
And your voice in my ear is like heav en to me
Like the breezes here in old Shanghai
There are lovers who walk hand in hand in the park
And lovers who walk all alone -
There are lovers who lie unafriad in the dark
And lovers who long for home
I couldn?t leave you even if I wanted to
You?re in my dreams and always near -
And es pecially when I sing the songs I wrote for
you
You are in my heart and living there -
And the moon and the starts are the same ones you
see
It?s the same old sun up in the sky
And your face in my dreams is like heav en to me
Like the breezes here in old Shanghai
Shanghai breezes cool and clear ing
Evenings sweet caress
Shanghai breezes soft and gen tle
Re minds me of your tender ness
||: And the moon and the stars are the same ones you
see
It?s the same old sun up in the sky -
And your love in my life is like heav en to me
Like the breezes here in old Shanghai - :||
Just like the breezes here in old Shang hai
