[Verse 1]
C F
Hold me before I'm gone forever
C G
Underneath the setting sun
C Am
I wish we could make that trip together
Dm Fm C
But that old train is boarding one by one
[Verse 2]
C F
My dear we have travelled far together
C G
Climbed the mountain, swum the sea
C Am
Still there are so many places calling us
Dm C
Won't you see the rest for me?
[Chorus]
C F
And hold me before I'm gone forever
C G
'cause it's all that we can do
C Am
I wish we could make that trip together
Dm Fm
But I'll go on ahead and wait for you
[Verse 3]
C F
It's true that my candle's burning lower
C G
But I'm content to hold your hand
C Am
The mystery of the dark, it never bothered me
Dm Fm
Your love is all I need to understand
[Chorus]
C F
Hold me before I'm gone forever
C G
'cause it's all that we can do
C Am
I wish we could make that trip together
Dm Fm C
But I'll go on ahead and wait for you
[Bridge]
C Am
I wish we could make that trip together
F C
But I'll be waiting somewhere, dear, for you
