[Intro]
[Em] [G] [Em] [G] [Em]
[Verse 1]
You [G]bloomed like th[C]e rose of [G]summe[Em]r
And I[C] held you i[Am]n my ar[D]ms
And [G]in that knowing [C]I found [G]purpos[Em]e
We w[C]alked on the [D]star[Dsus4]s
The [G]world changes, w[C]e get [G]olde[Em]r
What co[C]mes in love must [Am]leave in [D]pain
And a[G]ll the gifts [C]we early [G]treasur[Em]e
The [C]world takes a[G]way[Dsus4]. [G]
[Chorus]
Th[C]e years we [D]share[Dsus4]d
Wi[G]ll find their beating in a [Em]heart somewhere
Bu[C]t the traces of our greatest [D]day[Dsus4]s
Will fade [G]away [C][D]
[Verse 2]
F[G]rom the pier th[C]e ships are l[G]eavin[Em]g
The s[C]eeds to sap[Am]lings g[D]row
Sa[G]plings first [C]turn to [G]forest[Em]s
Th[C]en ships of o[D]ak[Dsus4]
Fa[G]ir winds blow th[C]rough the [G]journe[Em]y
And[C] I watch [Am]you from [D]afar
S[G]ailing on [C]distant [G]ocean[Em]s
O[C]f eternal c[G]alm.[Dsus4][G]
