Intro: Em  Am  D  G  C  Am  D  G  (2x) 

verse 1: 
                      C 
There's a love I hold dear  
       G                   Em 
And it shines through each year        
       Am                C/G           D/A  ~ ~ ~ 
And it makes things seem different somehow  
D/A      Em        C 
It's for better or worse  
         G          Em 
It's for people who thirst  
      Am              D              C   ~ ~ G 
For a love that burns brighter right now 



                     D            Em         Dm 
And it shines on and on, 'til all sadness is gone  
       C            G              Am              D   D/A-D/F# 
And if children had wings, I would sing them their song 
       Em          C          G          Em 
With a smile on my face and a tear in my eye  
     Am            D           C ~ ~ G    
Everything will be fine by and by
