---A beautiful and haunting song about the loss of someone dearly loved and missed---
[Capo on 1st fret]
Verse 1
time has a different meaning now
since you found your scarlet wings
forever seems like yesterday
but only angels know these things
(same chords as first stanza)
i can hear your voice sometimes at night
and it echoes through the day
when my soul cries out from missing you
i remember what you d say
Chorus
as long you love
you will see me in the stars
as you look up at the stars
i will be there
as long as you love
i will whisper in your ear
little whispers you will hear
as long as you love
as long as you love
Verse 2 (same as Verse 1)
you are standing here beside me now
as i watch the children play
to those of us you left behind
you are never far away
even heaven cannot hold your heart
for no boundaries love allows
so little angel, spread those scarlet wings
as you whisper to me now
Chorus
as long as you love
you will feel me in the sun
in the warming of the sun
i will be there
as long as you love
you will understand the rain
you must bless the falling rain
as long as you love
[instrumental break] not exact, but fits nicely, strum consistent with flow of verses
Chorus
as long as you love
you will see me in the stars
as you look up at the stars
i will be there
as long as you love
i will whisper in your ear
little whispers you will hear
as long as you love
as long as you love
