  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

  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 disappears

  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

  But 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
