Intro: C F C Gsus2 (2x)
C F
Miss Sarah's a dancer
C F
And she steps quick and light
C Am
As she spins through my dreams
Dm7 Gsus2
Like a thistle each night
C F
And she touches my shoulder
C F
And she smiles in my face
Bb F C Gsus2
But she don't guess the power of her grace
C F
She was barefoot and pigtails
C F
In the silk April dawn
C Am
She was skipping in circles
Dm7 Gsus2
On her neighbour's front lawn
C F
And the grey fog was lifting
C F
When she blew me a kiss
Bb F C Gsus2
And a woman stepped out of the mist
[Refrão]

I'm a coward for leaving
C F
I'm a fool if I stay
C Am
I'm a loser in love
Dm7 Gsus2
'Cause it's simpler that way
C F
And I never will hold her
C F
'Cause she's too good for tears
Bb F C Gsus2
And the weight of my many years
[Refrão]

They will tell you it's gospel
C F
But they won't tell you why

How love conquers all

In the sweet by and by

So we flutter like snowflakes
C F
And we twirl in the air

'Til we melt in our moment of prayer
