Lyrics

Like a breath of mid night air,

like a (Eb)light house,

like a (Bb)prayer.

Like a (Dm)flick er and the flare the sky re veals.

Like a (F)walk a long the (C)shore,

that you’ve (Eb)walked a thou sand star (Db)times

(Eb)be fore, like the (Bb)o cean’s (C)roar,

love (Ebmaj7)heals.

There are those who shield their hearts,

those who (Eb)quit be

fore they (Bb)start,

Like who’ve (Dm)fro zen

up the part

of them that feels.

In the (F)dark, they’ve lost their (C)sight,

like a (Eb)ship with out a star (Db)times

(Eb)be fore, like the (Bb)o cean’s (C)roar,

love (Ebmaj7)heals.

There are

(Eb)in the night,

but (Bb)hold on tight.

(Bb6)(Love (F)heals.) When you (Bb)feel like you (F)can’t go on.

(Gm)(Love (Bb)heals.) Hold on to love, it ’ll (F)keep you strong.

(Bb6)(Love (F)heals.) When you feel like you (Gm7)can’t go on,

(Love (F)heals.) Hold on to (Bb)love, and (F)it will bring you home.

Love (Bb)heals, when pain’s too much to bear,

when you (C)reach out your hand and (F)on ly the wind is there,

when life’s un fair,

when things like (Eb)us are not to be.

Love (C)heals

when you feel so small,

(C)like a grain of (Bb)sand, like (Dm)noth ing at all.

When you (Am7)look out at the sea,

(Am7)that’s where love will be.

(Am7)That’s where you’ll find (Bb)me, you’ll find me.

Oh, if you (G)fear the storm a head,

as you (F)lie a wake, oh, you lie a (C)wake in bed,

and there’s (Em)no one, no one, no one there (D)to stroke your hair, when your (C)mind, your mind, your mind (Eb)reels.

If your (G)face is salt y wet,

and you’re (F)drown ing in re gret,

just

(G)(don’t (C)for (D)get),

(G)(don’t (C)for (D)get),

(G)(don’t (C)for (D)get),

(G)(don’t (C)for (D)get),

love will lead you (G)home.

Hold on to love (C)and it (G)will lead you home.

Love

(G)heals.
