[B] [F#] All right, I'm going to be singing the [B] girl parts on this song.
[D#] There's a [D#m] cross above [B] the baby's bed, [C#] a savior in [D#m] her dreams.
[B] But she was not [D#m] delivered then, [C#] and the baby [D#m] came in.
[D#m] There's a light inside [B] the [F#] darkened room, [C#] a footstep on [D#m] the stairs,
[B] a door that I [F#] forever closed [C#] to leave those [F#] memories there.
[B] So when the [G#m] shadows [F#] lengthen [B] into an [F#] evening sun,
well [D#m] first there's summer then, [B] I'll let [F#] you in [C#] September when [D#m] it comes.
