Lyrics

(Dm)Look in’ through some (Csus)pho to (C)graphs I (Bb)found in side a drawer,

I was (Dm)tak en by a (Csus)pho to (C)graph of you.

And There were (Dm)one or two see I for (Csus)know that (C)you was would ’ve liked a lit tle more, seems

but they be (Dm)did n’t show your some (Csus)spir it (C)quite as true.

But You were (Am)turn ing ’round years to a see ple who there was be (Bb)hind (F)you.,

and I (Am)took your child ish laugh looks ter by per sur prise.

(C)fool.

(F)And at the (Bb)mo ment that my cam er a hap pened to (Dm)find you,

there was (Gm7)just a trace of sor row in your (F)eyes.

(C)Now the (Dm)things that I re (Csus)mem ber (C)seem so (Bb)dis tant and so small,

though it (Dm)has n’t real ly (Csus)been that (C)long a time.

And while What (Dm)I ure’s was see ing for (Csus)was n’t (C)what was hap pen ing still you at all, seems

al though be (Dm)for a while, our some (Csus)path did (C)seem to climb.

But when you (Am)see through love’s years il a lu ple sions, chang lies the (Bb)dan (F)ger,

and your (Am)per fect lov er just looks like a per fect school.

(C)fool.

(F)So you go (Bb)run ning off in search of a per fect strang (Dm)mind er,

while the (Gm7)just a trace of sor row in your (F)eyes.

(C)Now the (Gm7)lone li ness seems to (Bb)spring from your life like a (F)foun tain (C)from a pool.

Foun tain of sor row,

foun tain of light.

You’ve known that (F)hol low sound of your own steps in flight.

You’ve had to (F)hide some times, but (C#dim7)now you’re all right.

And it’s (F)good to see your smil ing face to night.

(C)Now for

Foun tain of sor row,

foun tain of light.

You’ve known that (F)hol low sound of your own steps in flight.

You’ve had to (F)strug gle,

you’ve had to fight

to keep un der stand ing

and com pas sion in sight.

You could be (F)laugh ing at me,

you’ve got the right.

But you go on (F)smil ing

so clear and so bright.
