And you will Gask her, Cwhy she had to Dgo,
We Bmlive and Emdie, we lBmaugh and we cEmry,
And yoCu must take aGway the pain,
BeCfore you can beDgin to live Gagain;

So let it Gstart, my Dfriend, let it Gstart,
Let the Ctears come Grolling from your Dheart,
And when you Emneed a Clight in the Glonely Cnights,
Carry Gme like a Dfire in your Emheart,C

[Verse 2]
There is a Griver Emrolling to the Dsea,
You will be Gwith her Cfor all eterniDty,

So hold Cher in your Gmemory
And Cbegin to make the Dshadows disaGppear;
[Chorus]
Yes let it Gstart, my Dfriend, let it Gstart,
Let the Clove come Grolling from your Dheart,
And when you Emneed a Clight in the Glonely Cnights,
Carry Gme like a Dfire in your Emheart,C  
Carry Gme like a Dfire in your heart;G  
[Outro]
So let it Gstart, my Dfriend, let it Gstart,
Let the Clove come Grolling from your Dheart,
And when you Emneed a Clight in the Glonely Cnights,

Carry Gme like a Dfire in your heart;G  
[Coda]
Carry Gme like a Dfire in your Emheart,C  
Carry Gme like a Dfire in your heart;G
