  • It's funny how you sound as if you're 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 want 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 heaven 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 unafraid 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 especially when I sing the songs I wrote for 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 face in my dreams is like heaven to me
    Like the breezes here in old Shanghai

    Shanghai breezes, cool and clearing
    Evening's sweet caress
    Shanghai breezes, soft and gentle
    Remind me of your tenderness

    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 heaven to me
    Like the breezes here in old Shanghai

    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 heaven to me
    Like the breezes here in old Shanghai
    Just like the breezes here in old Shanghai Writer/s: JOHN DENVER
