[Intro]

C C C6 C x2

Am Am Fmaj7/A Am x2

F F G G

[Verse 1]

C Am F C

As children we'd throw pebbles into the sparkling stream

C Am F G

And watch the ripples spread and grow just like our hopes and dreams

Dm Am F G

We'd cast our eyes up to the sky and watch the clouds go sailing by

Dm C G

But they never seemed to hide the sun

[Verse 2]

C Am F C

And streams grow to rivers in the summer of our days

C Am F G

Our hopes and dreams like bridges built to guide us on our way

Dm Am F G

We learn that clouds can sometimes bring darkness and rain

Dm C G

But we know our sun will shine again

[Bridge]

F Em Dm C

We see the trees standing tall

Dm Am

But we never glimpse the leaves

F G

When they start to fall

[Chorus]

C C6 C Am Fmaj7/A Am

So light a candle for the dark hold it close to your heart

F G

And let it shine as daylight fades

C C6 C Am Fmaj7/A Am

Shout my name above the wind as the hurricane begins

F G

So I can find my path back home

F G C

So I can find my path back home

[Verse 3]

C Am F C

The golden threads of autumn have softly slipped away

C Am F G

Trees have shed their leaves and flowers have had their day

Dm Am F G

And though the storm clouds gather high above our sun

Dm C G

Still we stand together here as one

[Bridge]

F Em C

We see the trees standing bare

Dm Am

And hear the winter wind

F G

Whip through the chilling air

[Chorus]

C C6 C Am Fmaj7/A Am

So light a candle for the dark hold it close to your heart

F G

And let it shine as daylight fades

C C6 C Am Fmaj7/A Am

Shout my name above the wind as the hurricane begins

F G

So I can find my path back home

F G C

So I can find my path back home

[Bridge]

Dm Em Dm C

And though the trees sing their winter song

Dm Am

The bridges of our lives

F G

Still stand proud and strong

[Chorus]

C C6 C Am Fmaj7/A Am

So light a candle for the dark hold it close to your heart

F G

And let it shine as daylight fades

C C6 C Am Fmaj7/A Am

Shout my name above the wind as the hurricane begins

F G

So I can find my path back home

F G C

So I can find my path back home
