[Verso 1]

G

When you first begin your journey

C G

You're not sure of who you are

And the lessons that you're learning

C Em Am G

They don't seem to take you far

Bm

And you just can't keep from stumbling

C G

Though you try so hard to stand

C

And the truth can be so humbling

Am D7 G C G

When it's just beyond your hand

[Verso 2]

G

As though youth were my invention

C G

As though love lay undefined

To stay free was my intention

C Em Am G

To stay young and unconfined

Bm

And so I held my pride above you

C G

Oh, yes, what a fool was I

Bm

Holding back those words "I love you"

C D7 G C G

And letting out that word goodbye

[Refrão]

G C Bm

And I was wrong to let you go

C Bm Em

I was a child and I did not know about the love

C G

That we both should have given

C Bm

And now you've gone so far away

C G

I hope I'll see you again someday

C D G C G

But if I don't, I hope I'll see you in heaven

[Verso 3]

G

I was foolish in my younger days

C G

To think they'd never end

Life confused me with its changing ways

C Em Am G

And I could not comprehend

Bm

All the meaning in those moments

C G

Now lost like footprints in the sand

Bm C

And I'm standing here remembering

Am D7 G C G

But it's so hard to understand

[Refrão]

G C Bm

And I was wrong to let you go

C Bm

I was a child and I did not know about the love

C G

That we both should have given

C Bm

And now you've gone so far away

C G

I hope I'll see you again someday

C Am D7 G C G

But if I don't, I hope I'll see you in heaven

[Verso 4]

G

I've been sitting in this garden

C G

In the middle of my days

And my memories fade and harden

C Em Am G

As the years they slip away

Bm

And I've been looking in this mirror

C G

At the age around my eyes

Em Am

Time is such an earnest laborer

Bm

Precision is his neighbor

C G

Lay my body in the ground

C D7 G C G

But let my spirit touch the sky

[Refrão]

G C Bm

And I was wrong to let you go

I was a child and I did not know about the love

That we both should have given

I hope I'll see you again someday
