Lyrics

If a (A)pic ture paints a thou sand words, then why can’t I paint (Bm7)you? The words will nev er show the you I’ve come to know. If a (A)face could launch a thou sand ships, then (A9)where am I to go? There’s no one home but you; you’re all that’s left me (E7)too. And when my love for life is run ning (D6)dry, you (C#)come and pour your (Bm7)self on (E7)me. If a (A)man could be two plac es at one time, I’d be with (Bm7)you to mor row and to day, be side you all the way. If the (A)world should stop re volv ing, spin ning (A9)slow ly down to die, I’d spend the end with you; and when the world was (E7)through, then one by one the stars would all go (D6)out. Then (C#)you and I would (Bm7)self on (E7)me. If a (Bm7)sim ply (D)fly a (A)way.
