There's a love I [D] hold dear, [A] and it shines through [F#m] each year, [Bm] and it makes [D] things seem different [E] somehow.
[F#m] It's for better [D] or worse, [A] it's for people [F#m] who thirst, [Bm] for a love that [E] burns brighter [D] right now.
[A]
And it shines [E] on and on, [F#m] till all sadness [Em] is gone, [D] and if children [A] had wings, I [Bm] would sing them [E] their song.
[F#m] With a smile on [D] my face, [A] and a tear in [F#m] my eye, [Bm] everything will [E] be fine, [D] by and by.

There were things that [D] were said, [A] there were things that [F#m] were done, [Bm] and a wish [D] cannot stand [E] too much pain.
[F#m] And what I thought [D] was best, [A] couldn't please her [F#m] much less, [Bm] but my love [E] still goes on, [D] that don't change.
