One, two, three.
[A] I met you in the shadows, [D] and your face was all aglow.
[E] I remember it so well, [A] though it was many years ago.
We both knew something happened,
[D] without a lot to say.
[E] But we had other lives, and [A] so we went our separate ways.
But our hearts communicated, [D] and every time we passed,
we [E] were gradually building something [A] that would forever last.
As long [E] as the moon [A] shall rise,
As long [E] as the rivers [A] flow,
[D] As long as the sun [A] will shine,
[D] As long as the grass shall [A] grow.
My heart was calling for you, [D] when one night you came along.
[E] We danced around each other, [A] but then we sang our song.
Our harmony was shaky, [D] and the pitch not very true.
[E] But then you gave in to me, and [A] I gave in to you.
We had to fight the world, and we [D] fought with all we had.
[E] We vowed to be together, through the [A] sweet times and the bad.
As long [E] as the moon shall [A] rise,
As long [E] as the rivers [A] flow,
As [D] long as the sun will [A] shine,
As [D] long as the grass shall [A] grow.
I hear you whisper every night, [D] may I have this dance?
[E] And though I'm not light on my feet, [A] I always take a chance.
We have gone through many storms, [D] and often walked through fire.
[E] But always our love and faith took [A] us higher and higher.
We know the mystery of life, [D] it's love hard and long.
I [E] love you.
I love you, and I [A] always will, as long.
As long [E] as the moon [A] shall rise,
As long [E] as the rivers [A] flow,
[D] As long as the sun [A] will shine,
[D] As long as the grass [A] shall grow.
