Standard (EADGBE)

 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
