Shanghai Breezes Lyrics - John Denver

It's funny how you sound as though 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 

And though I seem 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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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 

Oh, 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
