As The Moon Can Shine Lyrics

(Butcher)
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 dissapears,
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.
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.
They returned hand in hand, and the Bellman, unmanned
(For a moment) with noble emotion,
Said "This amply repays all the wearisome days
We have spent on the billowy ocean!"
