Would you know my name
if I saw you in heav en?
Would it be the same
if I saw you in heav en?
I must be strong
and car ry on ’cause I know I don’t be long
here in heav en.
Would you hold my hand
if I saw you in heav en?
Would you help me stand
if I saw you in heav en?
I’ll find my way
through night and day
’cause I know I just can’t stay
here in heav en.
Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees.
Time can break the heart, have you beg gin’ please,
beg gin’ please.
Be yond the door
there’s peace, I’m sure.
And I know there’ll be no more
tears in heav en.

- Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
- It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.

- Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
