verse 1 

          A 
Dear old sun 

How you holding up 
              D 
Through the winter cold 

Up there all alone 
    A 
February's been hard on a heart 
            D 
But we're near the end 

And it's almost March 
            A 
Though the sky's been grey 
            E                     D 
And in our way I still see your light 

verse 2 

            A 
Well, you melt the snow 

And you grow the roses 
          D 
And you dry the tears 

And you freckle noses 
       A 
Our little world 
            E 
Revolves around you 
        D            A 
Coming up and going down 

A D  A D A F#m E A 
Oooooo 
A D  A D A F#m E A 
Oooooo 
A D  A D A F#m E A 
Oooooo 

verse 3 
  A 
Dear old sun 

Let's call it a day 
         D 
And I watch you set 

I'll let you rest 
          A 
But I'll wait for you 
          E 
Like morningS dew 
        D        A 
Till I see your light 

A D  A D A F#m E A 
Oooooo 
A D  A D A F#m E A 
Oooooo 
A D  A D A F#m E A 
Oooooo 

 
A 
I still see your light 
D                 A 
I still see your light 
 D               A     F#m 
Heaven shining down tonight 
E                   A 
I still see your light
