[Verse]
She Amhugged his head so hard Cto her heart
it Emmade her gasp for aAmir
If this was not the Cway love felt
then for Emlove she did not cAmare
I want to run beside a Gmoving train yelling Emfarewells in the Amrain
The tears that fall will be Gbittersweet
cause I Emknow I'll see him aAmgain.
EmIf I losFt you noGw
I would feel as Emhollow as a AmboneC  Em  Am  
[Verse]
He Amcould not help but Chang his eyes
her Embeauty held him Amso.
If it was not a Gstate of grace
then gEmrace  he'd never kAmnow.
I want to yell farewell from a Gcrowed pier
just Emme and a thousand goodAm-byes
The tears that fall will be Gbittersweet
cause Emsoon she'll be back at my sAmide.
EmIf I losFt you noGw
I would feel as Emhollow as a AmboneC  Em  Am  
AmYou won't lose me , Che replied
togEmether our lives have been Amsewn.
If I lost you Cnow
I would feel as Emhollow  as a Ambone.
We will kiss goodnight under Gstarlit skies
whisper Emoaths at a lumbering Ammoon,
dream sweet dreams until the Gmorning comes
and sEmerves us the dawn in our Amroom
