Dm
[Verse]
 FWhy must you shed  Amsuch tender tears
 GIn the evening of your Dmyears
 FNo other love  Amcould stem the tide
 GOf the loneliness I Dmhide
Open your Fheart and let me Amlive
All the Gpromises I could Dmgive
The Fsun and moon and all the Amstars
They bow Gdown to you whenever you Dmpass
In a Fworld of fading Amsadness
An emerald Gring, a photoDmgraph
That look in your Feyes the brush of your  Amcheek
These are the Gmoments in life that I Dmseek
[Chorus]
No reason or Frhyme, no presence of Ammind
Just a Gdance to the music of Dmtime
