C#7+ D#/C Fm G#5+/E
D#m7 G#9/D# G#
C#7+
There, there was a time I knew
D#/C
That no matter, what may come,
Fm G#5+/E
love would prevail.
D#m7 G#9/sus4 D# G#9/D#
And then inside the dreams I knew
C#7+
Came the question lovers fear
D#/C
Can true love fail
Fm G#5+/E
Then I would miss the childhood wish
D#m7 G#9/sus4 D# G#9/D#
And haven't I sung to you
G#m7 C#7
Of the knight in armor bright
F#7+
Faithful and true to you
Chorus:
G#m G#m7+ G#m7
Darling, after all
F#m7/9 B
I will be the one to hold you in my arms
B C#m D#sus
After all
C#9 C#
I will be the one to hold you
D#m7 G#7
I will be the one to hold you in my arms
C#7+
In my arms
G#m G#m7+ F#7+
I know in my heart and mind
F#7+ (2/4)
That no matter, come what may, love will survive
D#m7 G#7
And love, the author of space and time
A° A#m7/9
Keeps the galaxies and each sparrow alive
F# G#/F#
And the love that heals the wound
F# G#
After the war is through
G# (2/4)
Is the knight in armor bright
Faithful and true to you
Chorus
