Lay soft on your pillow tonight
Am G D
For the morning will come too soon
Am C G D
Watching the shadows fade into light

We will bid farewell to the moon

And while you are sleeping my love
G D
I will watch over you
Am C G D
Flickering eyes show your innermost dreams
Em C D Em C D
When love comes to us anew

Though I may be some distance away

In truth we are as one

You will be with me by night and by day
Em C D
And forever when all is gone

The night is too short my love
Am G D Am
And the road is too long to know
C G D
I will carry this memory of you
Em C D Em C D Am
To the places I must go
[Verse]
G D
When the swallows return with the spring
Am G D
And the meadows are flowered in bloom
Am C G D
I will return to see you again
Em C D Em C D
And the place that I call home
[Chorus]
Em C G D
Though I may be some distance away
Em C G D
In truth we are as one
Em C G D
You will be with me by night and by day
Em C D
And forever when all is gone
