I've been looking so

long at these pictures
              A
of you That I almost
believe that they're
D              A
real I've been living
so long with my

All I can feel 
[Verse 2]

Remembering
You standing
D
quiet in the rain
     A
As I ran to your
            D
heart to be near
       A
And we kissed as
the sky fell in

Holding you close
      A
How I always held
              D
close in your fear
[Verse 3]

Remembering
            D
You running soft
through the night
         A
You were bigger
and brighter and
D
whiter than snow
     A
And screamed at
the make believe
 D
Screamed at the
sky And you
A
finally found
         D
all your courage
              A D A D
To let it all go 
[Verse 4]

Remembering
You fallen

into my arms

Crying for the
death of your

stone white
So delicate

You were always

so lost in the dark

Remembering
        D
You how you
used to be
     A
Slow drowned
You were angels
   D
So much more than
           A
everything Hold
for the last time
      D
then slip away
        A
quietly Open my
           D
eyes But I never
see anything 
[Chorus 1]
   E
If only I'd thought
       D
of the right words

I could have held
           D
on to your heart
   E
If only I'd thought
       D
of the right

words I wouldn't
be breaking

apart All my

you But I never

long for the words
to be true But

always just
