OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face, grand square
It's funny how you sound as if you're right next door
When you're really half a world away
I just can't seem to find the words I'm looking for
To say the things I want to say

Allemande and weave
The moon and the stars are the same ones you see
It's the same old sun up in the sky
And your voice in my ear is like heaven to me
Like the breezes here in old Shanghai


FIGURE    Plus, corner progression

Heads touch 1/4, girls pass thru
Centers right & left thru, the others trade and roll
Centers slide thru, everybody pass thru
Tag the line, all the way through, leaders trade
Swing thru and then, down the line you go
Girls turn around, take his hand, promenade
And your voice in my ear is like heaven to me
Like the breezes here in old Shanghai


ALTERNATE LYRICS

I can't remember when I felt so close to you
It's almost more than I can bear
And though I seem a half a million miles from you
You're in my heart and living there

Allemande and weave
The moon and the stars are the same ones you see
It's the same old sun up in the sky
And your face in my dreams is like heaven to me
Like the breezes here in old Shanghai


I couldn't leave you even if I wanted to
You're in my dreams and always near
And especially when I sing the songs I wrote for you
You're in my heart and living there

Allemande and weave
The moon and the stars are the same ones you see
It's the same old sun up in the sky
And your love in my life is like heaven to me
Like the breezes here in old Shanghai
