[Intro]
F Bb Gm F
[Verse]
F Bb F
If you could wait a moment longer,
Bb Gm F
The sun would rise before the morn.
Bb F
The shadows from the skies would vanish,
Bb Gm F
And the day be twice as long.
[Chorus]
Bb Gm F
Every minute be an hour,
Bb Gm F
Every hour a loving kiss,
Gm C
Every kiss a fresh spring flower,
F
Sparkling in the morning mist.
Bb F
If you were here again beside me,
Bb Gm F
The running waters I would hold.
Bb F
And turn their flow to you, my lover,
Bb Gm F
To wash your feet, your hair of gold.
[Chorus]
Bb Gm F
Every drop a silver crystal,
Bb Gm F
Every crystal all aglow,
Gm C
Every glow a breath of beauty,
F
From your skin like dimpled snow.
Bb F
But since you've gone, the light has faded,
Bb Gm F
Birds are silent in the wood.
Bb F
The grass still trampled in a hollow,
Bb Gm F
Marks the spot on which you stood.
[Chorus]
Bb Gm F
Every tree a sad reminder,
Bb F
Every branch a memory bare,
Gm C
Every memory tinged with sorrow
Gm C F
That you are gone and I still care.
[Outro]
