Cm7

G D Em

I heard a voice so pure and easy,

Am D

A songbird singing for me,

G D Em

I had no choice, only to listen,

Am D G D

And surrender to her world,

G E7 Am

And she will fly over the rainbow,

D G D

She will walk in fields of gold,

G E7 Am Cm7

And when she sings from the high walls of Heaven,

G D G Bm Am D

Will the angels cry like me?

G D Em

At first alone, then with hundreds around me,

Am D

Enchanted by her song,

G D Em

But as the day is done, and the darkness is falling,

Am D G D

The songbird sings no more,

G E7 Am

And now she flies over the rainbow,

D G D

And she walks in fields of gold,

G E7 Am Cm7

And when she sings from the high walls of Heaven,

G D G D G E7 Am D G D

Will the angels cry like me?

G E7 Am Cm7

And when she sings from the high walls of Heaven,

G D Em C

Will the angels cry like me,

Am D G Bm Am D G C G

Will the angels cry like me?
