A                              D
I met you in the shadows and your face was all aglow,
    E                               A
I remember it so well though it was many years ago
     A                               D
 We both new something happened without a lot to say,
    E                                     A
but we had other lives and so we went our separate ways.
         A                      D
But our hearts communicated and every time we passed,
          E                                A
we were gradually building something that would forever last.

    A                     E                        A
As long (as long) as the moon (as the moon) shall rise,

(as the moon shall rise),
                         E                       A
as long (as long) as the rivers (as the rivers) flow, (as the rivers flow),
    D                                            A
as long (as long) as the sun (as the sun) will shine,
    D                                    A
as long, (as long) as the grass, shall grow.

     A                                 D
My heart was calling for you when one night you came along,
     E                             A
we danced around each other but then we sang our song.
       A                          D
Our harmony was shaky and the pitch not very true,
         E                   A
but then you gave in to me and I gave in to you.
    A                              D
We had to fight the world and we fought with all we had,
    E                                  A
we vowed to be together through the sweet times and the bad.

   A                            D
I hear you whisper every night, may I have this dance ?
      E                                A
And though I'm not light on my feet, I always take the chance
         A                            D
We have gone through many storms and often walked through fire,
     E                               A
but always our loving faith took us higher and higher.
    A                           D
We know the mystery of life, its love hard and long,
        E                            A
(I love you) I love you and I always will as long…

    A                     E                        A
