Everyone must face their share of loneliness

In my own time, nobody knew
5*  9  9  9  9*  7*  -7*__
The pain I was goin' through
5*  -7*  -7*  -7*  7*  -6*  -6  -6*  -5*__
And waitin' was all my heart could do

Hope was all I had until you came

Maybe you can't see how much you mean to me

You were the dawn breaking the night

-6  -6  -6  -6  -6*  -6  -5*  5*  -3*  -6  -5*  5*  5  5  5*  -5*
You showed me the way to leave the past and all its tears behind me

Since I threw my sadness away

Only yesterday
(Interlude)

I have found my home here in your arms
-5*  -5*  -5*  -6*  9  9  -7*  7*  -6*  7*  -6__
Nowhere else on earth I'd really rather be
5*  -6  7*  9*  9*  9  -7*  9_
Life waits for us, share it with me
5*  9  9  9  9*  7*  -7*__
The best is about to be
5*  -7*  -7*  -7*  9  9*  -9*  7*  7*
And so much is left for us to see
7*  9  9  9*  -9*
When I hold you
