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
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.
