  			     C 
In the sharp gust of love  
My memory stirred  
 
     Am 
When time wreathed a rose  
A garland of shame  
 
    F 
Its thorn my only delight  
War torn, afraid to speak  
 
   C 
We dare to breathe  
Majestic, Imperial,  
A bridge of sighs 
 
    Am 
Solitude sails 
In a wave of forgiveness 
 
   C 
On angels' wings  
Reach out your hands 
Don't turn your back 
 
      Am 
Don't walk away 
 
           F 
How in the world 
 
               Fm 
Can I wish for this? 
 
            C           C7 
Never to be torn apart 
 
F 
Close to you 
 
Fm            C 
'Til the last beat 
Of my heart  
 
       C 
At the close of day 
The sunset cloaks 
 
      Am 
These words in shadowplay 
 
F 
Here and now, long and loud 
 
   C 
My heart cries out 
 
        Am 
And the naked bone of an echo says 
 
      C 
Don't walk away  
 
F              Fm 
Reach out your hands 
 
           C         C7 
I'm just a step away 
 
           F 
How in the world 
 
               Fm 
Can I wish for this? 
 
            C          C7 
Never to be torn apart 
 
F 
Close to you 
 
Fm            C 
'Til the last beat 
 
            C7 
Of my heart  
 
           F 
How in the world 
 
               Fm 
Can I wish for this? 
 
            C          C7 
Never to be torn apart 
 
F 
'Til the last beat 
 
Fm                     C 
'Til the last fleeting beat 
            
            C7 
Of my heart
