[C#m]
[F#] If
[B] [G#]
I could [B] fly beside the gentle [D#] [C#m] dove
[F#] I'd cross the world to come to you, [B] my [F#] love
[C#m] To [G#m] try to tell you that I meant [C#m] no wrong
[D#] [A] And be right by your side where I [F#] belong
[B] I sat with pen and paper all [C#m] night long
[F#] My eyes just can't believe the morning [B] sun
The [G#m] words don't come and shadows hold [C#m] my hand
[A] And yet another day has just [F#]
begun
[B]
Butterflies and [C#] songbirds will have gone By [F#] the time I find the [B] words to write my song
They'll bring to you [C#] no word to plumb Just [F#] the golden memories that [B] linger on
Things I find so very hard [D#] to say [C#m] And [F#] birds of the wing can't wait another [B]
day
I [E] know at [G#m] least they try to [C#m]
sympathize [A] Perhaps you'll see my sorrow in their [F#]
[A#] eyes

They'll bring to [G#m] you no [C#] word to plumb [F#] Just the golden memories that [B] linger on
So welcome little songbirds, [C#m] if you will [F#] They're bringing all my love, pure [B] hearts to fill
[G#m] Kiss them gently, turn them [C#m] once around [A] And they'll come back and I will write [F#] my song
[G#] [B]
