"Lamplight Symphony"
AmOn a winter's night, Cmstars are cold and bright in the Gmsky,
GmThe slumber of the earth is Fmpure and deeGmp
AmFrom a distant wood,Cm drifts the echo of a beGmast
GmThe old man stirs andFm wakens in the night Am
DmHe stands before the window gazing at the grave C
DmForgotten dreams are flashing through his weary minCd
DmAnd though his life is empty, he Cpretends that she's still there A2
AmWith hunger in his soul, Cmhe yearns for life and love gone by,Gm
GmWith memories his Fmone and only joy Gm
AmBut All he has to give, yCmou know he would gladly give to bring back the liGmfe,
GmAnd raise the one who Fmlies beneath the snow Am
DmHe lights a lamp and looks at pictures of the pCast
DmThe faces of their youth still glow with new-foCund love,
DmBut the pictures faded, andC time has stolen youthA2 away
DmWith a spoken word that he thought he heard frCmom her lips,
DmHe felt another presenceBb in the room, F
DmHe was filled with fear but turned with joy Cmhe arose
DmAnd turned to face the image that he knew Am
DmShe stood before him and her hand reached out for Cmhis
DmA peaceful light shone in her eyes Bb
CShe said she'd come to soothe him, Bband that someday they'd beDm as one
AmShe began to fade andCm her image disappeared, Gm
GmSo he was left alone to Fmface another night, Gm
AmNever in his life, had he been soCm held in awGme,
GmAs he faced the appaFmrition of his wiAmfe
DmHe stood before the window gazing at the grave,C
DmAnd with a lightened heart he saw the first of Cdawn,
DmHe knew that she was waiting, thatC someday they'd be as one D
