Intro: Am C Dm E
Verse 1:
Am C
I'm sitting in my room
Dm
Thinking back on you,
E
Memories pass;
Am C
My head was leaned against your face
Dm E
Partly on your shoulder, curving your neck.
Am C
I tried to clear my thoughts of stress
Dm
And let go of the day,
How it began,
E
Whispered your name
Chorus:
Am C
Soft white lights between us falling
Dm E
Forming into precious flowers, chartreuse
Am
Beautiful and floating down on us
C Dm
Sparkles flying towards us dancing all around us
E
Vanish in air
Verse 2:
Am
But you left before you knew
C
A future holding you.
Dm
All you saw of me
E
My heart should speak for me,
Am
Then you'd understand
C
That push away
Dm
It craves compassion and
E
Strong arms to hold her.
Am
You and me
C
Revolving
Dm
Angel wings
E
Fluttering
Am
Orange gold
C
Sunsets bold
Dm
Star filled nights
E
Sweet as Fantasia
Am
And still
C
A glow surrounding you
Dm
The dandelions blew
E
Our wishes to the wind
Come and bring him back again
Chorus:
Am C
Soft white lights between us falling
Dm E
Forming into precious flowers, chartreuse
Am
Beautiful and floating down on us
C Dm
Sparkles flying towards us dancing all around us
E
Vanish in air
Verse 3:
Am
And I wonder how you felt
(I was melting inside)
C
Opened up my eyes
(Felt so bright I was blind)
Dm
The car we hadn't left
E
I closed the door behind
(And I wished you would take me away)
Am C
You left before I waved.
Dm
By then it was too late.
E
I wished on the moon
I'd always remember
Am
You and me
C
Revolving
Dm
Angel wings
E
Fluttering

Orange gold

Star filled nights
