DO
In the sharp gust of love
My memory stirred
LAm
When time wreathed a rose
A garland of shame
FA
Its thorn my only delight
War torn, afraid to speak
DO
We dare to breathe
Majestic, Imperial,
A bridge of sighs
LAm
Solitude sails
In a wave of forgiveness
DO
On angels' wings
Reach out your hands
Don't turn your back
LAm
Don't walk away
FA
How in the world
FAm
Can I wish for this?
DO DO7
Never to be torn apart
FA
Close to you
FAm DO
'Til the last beat
Of my heart
DO
At the close of day
The sunset cloaks
LAm
These words in shadowplay
FA
Here and now, long and loud
DO
My heart cries out
LAm
And the naked bone of an echo says
DO
Don't walk away
FA FAm
Reach out your hands
DO DO7
I'm just a step away
FA
How in the world
FAm
Can I wish for this?
DO DO7
Never to be torn apart
FA
Close to you
FAm DO
'Til the last beat
DO7
Of my heart
FA
How in the world
FAm
Can I wish for this?

Never to be torn apart

'Til the last beat

'Til the last fleeting beat

Of my heart
