Lyrics

I nev er dreamed of this sor row.

I nev er thought I’d have rea son

to la ment.

I hoped I’d nev er know heart break.

How I wish I could change the way things went.

I want noth ing but good ness.

I want ed rea son

to pre vail,

not this

bare ti ness.

I (F)want

(C)ed

(Dm7)days

of (Gsus4)plen ty.

But I re fuse to feel (Fsus2)trag ic.

I am ask ing for (Dm7sus4)more than pain and grief.

There has got to be (Am7)mean ing.

Most of all when a (Gm7)life has been so (C7)brief.

I have got to learn (F)some thing.

How

can I (Cmaj7)give her

an y (Am9)less?

I want (Dm7)life

to go (Eb6)on.

(F)I

(C)want

(Dm7sus4)days

of (Gsus4)plen ty.

You (F69)have

to be lieve

there is (D)rea

son for hope.

You (A)have

to be lieve

that the (Gsus4)an

(G)swers will (C)come.

You can’t let

(F)this de (C)feat you.

I won’t let (Gsus4)this de (C)feat you.

You must fight to (F)keep her (Am7)there

with (Bbsus2)in you.

So be lieve that she (Fsus2)mat tered.

And be lieve that she (Dm7sus4)al ways

(Dm7sus4)will.

She will al ways be (Am7)with you.

She’ll be part of the (Gm7)days you’ve yet to (Bb)fill.

She will (C)live (Dm)in your (Fsus2)boun ty.

She will live as you (Em7)car ry on your (Am7)life.

So car ry (Cmaj7)on,

full of (G7sus4)hope.

She’ll be (C)there

for (Dm7)all

(Em7)your

(Fmaj7)days
