E A E D D/C# D
The innocence of sleeping children Dressed in white and slowly dreaming
E A E D D/C# D
Stops all time

I slow my steps and start to blur So many years have filled my heart
E A E D D/C# D
I never though I'd say those words

The very first time I saw your face I thought of a song and quickly changed the

Oh remember Please don't change

And so the fall came thirteen years A shiny ring and how I could forget your

The air no longer in my throat Another perfect lie is choked But it always

So they close together

Dressed in red and yellow

Innocent forever

Sleeping children in their blue soft rooms Still dream
