[Verse 1]
G Emi
Well we settled in the quiet, Left two wounded hearts to dream...
C G
Of a love that she and I had yet to see.
G Emi
But her subtlety of urgency, Fell deaf and dumb on me...
C G
As we lingered a bit longer in the sweet.
[Refrain]
Emi C G
So sweet dreams, sweet lover... Be free to love another,
Emi C G
I got tears enough to occupy the space...
Emi C G
Between this chest and vacant arms, Lived the girl who stole my heart...
Emi C G
Wake happy little angel on your way
[2 verse]
G Emi
Those Arizona sunsets, Like nothing I had seen...
C G
Lent blue into those eyes she swore were green.
G Emi
And morning talks with coffee, Made for lovers’ poetry...
C G
While we lingered a bit longer in the sweet.
[Bridge]
Emi G
And my first wish wasn’t for us to be friends
Emi G
But love’s last words must one day find their end
C Emi G
And before the blue runs from those pretty greens...
C Emi (pause) G
Well I got one last wish from you... from me
[3 verse]
G Emi
Fare thee well, fair maiden, Every story has its end...
C G
And make believe is still, pretend.
G Emi
But I’ll reaffirm those vows, And wish her, a happy now...
C G
While I linger a bit longer in the sweet.
