Lyrics

When I look in to (A)your (E)eyes,

it’s like watch ing the night

(E)sky

or a beau ti ful (A)sun (E)rise.

Oh, there’s so much they hold.

And just like them old

(E)stars,

I see that you’ve (A)come so (E)far

to be right where (A)you (E)are.

How old is your (Bsus4)soul?

Well, I won’t give (A)up on (E)us e ven if the (C#m7)skies get (B)rough.

I’m giv ing you (A)all my (E)love.

I’m still look ing up.

And when you’re need ing (A)your (E)space

to do some (A)nav i gat ing,

I’ll be here (A)pa tient ly (E)wait ing to see what you (Bsus4)find.

’Cause e ven the (A)stars, they (E)burn; some e ven (C#m7)fall to the earth.

We got a (A)lot to (E)learn.

God knows, we’re worth it.

No, I won’t give up.

I don’t (F#m)wan na be some one who walks a way so eas i ly.

I’m here to stay and make the dif fer ence that (B)I can make.

Our (F#m)dif f’renc es, they do a lot to teach us how to use the tools and gifts we got; yeah, we got a lot at stake.

And in the (D)end, you’re still my friend; at least we did in tend for us to work.

We did n’t break; we did n’t burn.

We had to learn how to bend with out the world cav ing in.

I had to learn what I got and what I’m not and who I (E)am.

I won’t give (A)up on (E)us e ven if the (C#m7)skies get (B)rough.

I’m giv ing you (A)all my (E)love.

I’m still look ing up.

And we’re worth it.)

I’m giv ing you (A)all my (E)love.

I’m still look ing up.
