"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, Cmdrifts the echo of a beGmast
GmThe old man stirs and Fmwakens in the nightAm  
DmHe stands before the window gazing at the graveC  
DmForgotten dreams are flashing through his weary minCd
DmAnd though his life is empty, he Cpretends that she's still thereA2  
AmWith hunger in his soul, Cmhe yearns for life and love gone by,Gm  
GmWith memories his Fmone and only joyGm  
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 snowAm  
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, and Ctime has stolen youth A2away
DmWith a spoken word that he thought he heard frCmom her lips,
DmHe felt another presence Bbin the room,F  
DmHe was filled with fear but turned with joy Cmhe arose
DmAnd turned to face the image that he knewAm  
DmShe stood before him and her hand reached out for Cmhis
DmA peaceful light shone in her eyesBb  
CShe said she'd come to soothe him, Bband that someday they'd be Dmas one
AmShe began to fade and Cmher image disappeared,Gm  
GmSo he was left alone to Fmface another night,Gm  
AmNever in his life, had he been so Cmheld 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, that Csomeday they'd be as one D

Am Cm Gm

On a winter's night, stars are cold and bright in the sky,

Gm Fm Gm

The slumber of the earth is pure and deep

Am Cm Gm

From a distant wood, drifts the echo of a beast

Gm Fm Am

The old man stirs and wakens in the night

Dm C

He stands before the window gazing at the grave

Dm C

Forgotten dreams are flashing through his weary mind

Dm C A2

And though his life is empty, he pretends that she's still there

With hunger in his soul, he yearns for life and love gone by,

Gm Fm Gm

With memories his one and only joy

Am Cm Gm

But All he has to give, you know he would gladly give to bring back the life,

Gm Fm Am

And raise the one who lies beneath the snow

Dm C

He lights a lamp and looks at pictures of the past

Dm C

The faces of their youth still glow with new-found love,

Dm C A2

But the pictures faded, and time has stolen youth away

Dm Cm

With a spoken word that he thought he heard from her lips,

Dm Bb F

He felt another presence in the room,

He was filled with fear but turned with joy he arose

Dm Am

And turned to face the image that he knew

She stood before him and her hand reached out for his

A peaceful light shone in her eyes

She said she'd come to soothe him, and that someday they'd be as one

Never in his life, had he been so held in awe,

As he faced the apparition of his wife

He stood before the window gazing at the grave,

Dm C

And with a lightened heart he saw the first of dawn,

Dm C D

He knew that she was waiting, that someday they'd be as one
