We gather in a quiet room
|
To sing our hopeful tunes
|
And all of us have something to be sharing
|
We speak the stars or summon tears
|
Or make each other smile
|
And every song shows signs of someone's caring
|
We wander through each others worlds
|
And trades desires and dreams
|
And show each other stars to wish upon
|
And then by ones and twos
|
We slip away off to our beds
|
Yet something magic happens near the dawn
|
|
Chrous: Just the few who have lasted
|
Till the day begins again
|
Turn to family and friends
|
With a soft "remember when..."
|
And I talk about the flower years
|
That made me what I am
|
And all of you
|
Share your remembrance too
|
|
Verse: A D G A A D E A
|
G Bm E7 A G B M E7 A
|
Chrous: D G A D D G A D
|
|
One woman shares her grieving
|
For the loved ones she has lost
|
And shyly speaks of her new special someone
|
A gentle man can talk about
|
A father who has died
|
And how someday he hopes he can become one
|
And all the quiet listeners
|
Who have no songs to share
|
Will offer you the moments of their lives
|
Like jewels that are priceless
|
They will give you all their fears
|
And gems of all the courage that survives
|
|
It's so hard when sleep is calling
|
To remain for one more song
|
And the memories that always follow after
|
And I've often slipped away myself
|
Before those early hours
|
And missed out on the sharing and the laughter
|
But one thought can console me
|
As I wander to my bed
|
So long before the singing circle ends
|
I know I'll try again and maybe
|
Last until the dawn
|
When the crowd becomes the faces of my friends
|
