[Chorus]
Oh, please don't Gsay that you'll Cgo
My Emheart can't bear the news
Just Cknowing that you'll be a thousand liDadd4ght years Caway
If you Gdo
And will you Gknow when it's Cthrough
When you Emfind what you're looking for
Will you Cknow what to do
A thousand Dadd4light years Caway when you Gdo
  COh, when you Gdo
[Verse 1]
And I Cshould've said it before you were goneEm  
Because I'm Ckicking myself for waiting oh so Dadd4long
And I Gshould've held you nearC  
Every Gtime I Cfear
Somehow Emyou just wouldn't feel the Dadd4same

So please don't Gsay that you'll Cgo
My Emheart can't bear the news
Just Cknowing that you'll be a thousand Dadd4light years Caway
If you Gdo
  COh, if you Gdo

Well, I'm just Csitting here gazing up at the Gstars
 CLet's say we pick one out and Dadd4call the whole thing ours
And Geven though that Clight we see
GAin't the same for Cyou and me
GWell, you'll know when I'll Cknow
That Gyou and I can even Cbe a Dadd4thousand light years away
And CI still love GyouC  
Oh yes, I GdoC  
I love Gyou
