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.
