A               
You're beautiful so silently,  
   G  
It lies beneath a shade of blue 
   D            E  
It struck me so violently  
     A                 Aadd9 
When I looked at you 
 
 
But others pass, the never pause, 
To feel that magic in your hand 
To me you're like a wild rose 
They never understand why 
 
 
A           Bm                          E  
I cried for you, when the sky cried for you 
             E6        E7              A   Aadd9 
And when you went, I became a hopeless drifter 
A                         Bm                         E  
But this life was not for you, though I learned from you, 
         E6      E7        A  
That beauty need only be a whisper 
 
 
I'll cross the sea for a different world 
With your treasure, a secret for me to hold 
In many years they may forget this love of ours or that we met 
They may not know how much you meant to me 
 
 
I cried for you, and the sky cried for you 
And when you went I became a hopeless drifter 
But this life was not for you, though I learned from you 
That beauty need only be a whisper 
 
 
Bm          E              A            E        D  
Without you now I see, how fragile the world can be 
Bm                E              A                  E            D   A  
And I know you've gone away, but in my heart you'll always stay 
 
I cried for you, and the sky cried for you 
And when you went I became a hopeless drifter 
But this life was not for you, though I learned from you 
That beauty need only be a whisper 
That beauty need only be a whisper
