[Verse 1]
(as it comes)
G D Em Bm C
The wind through the cyprus made them sway
Am G C D
And rolled the clouds back that winter day
Em Bm C G
The sun shone through long enough to say
Am G D G G
"Your baby was here, but cannot stay."
[Bridge]
G Bm C D
For there are more important things to do
G Bm C D
And she must add a gleam to heaven’s hue
G Bm C D
To help brighten the pathway for one and all
Em Bm C D
For through the darkness, great men fall!
Em Bm C D
This little spirit, so pleasant and fair
Em Bm C D
Returned to the ones who were waiting there
G Bm C G
And when I walk out in the night divine
Am G D
I know one of the stars that shine is mine!
[Verse 2]
(strum as it comes)
D G D Em Bm C
She came to the earth just for a while
Am G C D
Not long enough to see her smile
(regular)
Em Bm C G
For this little baby we loved so much
Am G D G
Was just too precious for a mother’s touch
[Outro]
G D Em C D G
