[Verse 1]
C F C F
Won't you take a moment, hear what I have to say
Am F Dm G
This story is the reason that I'm standing here today
C F C F
It's the story of a man who found the strength to face his grief
Am F Dm G
It's the story of a pauper finding wealth beyond belief
[Verse 2]
C F C F
I was standing by the ocean; I was ready to give in
Am F Dm G
Find freedom from a vicious game that I could never win
C F C F
When then out of the darkness came an old man walking by
Am F G
A messenger from heaven, an angel from on high
And he said
[Chorus]
F C G Am
Can't you see the sunrise, turning darkness into light
F C G Am
And when you see young children smile, it can warm a winter's night
F C G Am
What a gift from G-d in heaven, every wonder that we see
F C F G
Don't you know they weren't kidding, what's best in life comes free
F C G Am
You've seen leaves change in the autumn, You've seen flowers bloom in spring
F C G Am
You've seen waterfalls and mountains, felt the awe that it could bring
F C G Am
So, who's got the time to ponder all the problems of their lot
F C F G
Would you trade a million dollars, for what you've already got
F C G C
Would you trade a million dollars, for what you've already got
[Verse 3]
C F C F
He came to stand beside me as I wiped away my tears
Am F Dm G
Tears born of the tortures of a thousand different fears
C F C F
He shared with me a smile, warm, and bright, and strong
Am F Dm G
And he asked me would I share with him what in my life was wrong
[Verse 4]
C F C F
So, I spoke to him of twilight, but he spoke to me of dawn
Am F Dm G
I spoke to him of winter and he promised spring would come
C F C F
I asked him about G-d; how I wondered what was true
Am F G
He said to me, son, can't you see, He believes in you
And he said
[Chorus]
F C G Am
Can't you see the sunrise, turning darkness into light
F C G Am
And when you see young children smile, it can warm a winter's night
F C G Am
What a gift from G-d in heaven, every wonder that we see
F C F G
Don't you know they weren't kidding, what's best in life comes free
F C G Am
You've seen leaves change in the autumn, You've seen flowers bloom in spring
F C G Am
You've seen waterfalls and mountains, felt the awe that it could bring
F C G Am
So, who's got the time to ponder all the problems of their lot
F C F G
Would you trade a million dollars, for what you've already got
F C G C
Would you trade a million dollars, for what you've already got
[Verse 5]
C F C F
I asked him why he bothers with a man he's never met
Am F Dm G
A stranger he won't see again and would probably forget
C F C F
He was silent for a moment when he spoke his voice was low
Am F Dm G
He said there was a time I stood by the waters long ago
[Verse 6]
C F C F
A tragedy, an accident, I had just turned 21
Am F Dm G
A young man with no future though my life had just begun
C F C F
You're not the only one who's thought to leave his woes behind
Am F G
And I glanced at him, he smiled and I realized he was blind
But he said
[Chorus]
F C G Am
I can hear the laughter, turning darkness into light
F C G Am
And when my children say "I love you, " it can warm a winter's night
F C G Am
What a gift from G-d in heaven, even though I cannot see
F C F G
Oh, I know they weren't kidding, what's best in life comes free
F C G Am
I hear leaves crack in the autumn, I hear birdsong in the spring
F C G Am
And I know the sound of music, and the awe that it can bring
F C G Am
Haven't got the time to ponder all the problems of my lot
F C F G
Wouldn't trade a million dollars, for what I've already got
F C G C
Wouldn't trade a million dollars, for what I've already got
