And especially when I sing the songs I wrote for you
To say the things that I want to say
It’s almost more than I can bear
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see
Like the breezes here in old Shanghai
You are in my heart and living there
And lovers who long for home
It’s the same old sun up in the sky
There are lovers who lie unafraid in the dark
And your love in my life is like heaven to me
It’s the same old sun up in the sky
You are in my heart and living there
Shanghai breezes, soft and gentle
It’s the same old sun up in the sky
I can’t remember when I felt so close to you
I just can’t seem to find the words I’m looking for
And your love in my life is like heaven to me
Evening’s sweet caress
It’s the same old sun up in the sky
Like the breezes here in old Shanghai
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see
You’re in my dreams and always near
Remind me of your tenderness
There are lovers who walk hand in hand in the park
And the moon and the stars are the same ones you see
And lovers who walk all alone
Like the breezes here in old Shanghai
And your voice in my ear is like heaven to me
And the moon and the stars are the same ones, you see
Though I seem a half a million miles from you
I couldn’t leave you even if I wanted to
Shanghai breezes, cool and clearing
And your face in my dreams is like heaven to me
Like the breezes here in old Shanghai
