CHORUS C G Am Fm
A lover’s respite, but just for one night,
Then he had to go.
A bittersweet memory, I woke up alone,
Except for that note.
VERSE 1 Am Em F C (G)
The sheets fall to the floor,
Those ripples and folds hold me.
The candles burn lower,
Extinguished, with all that could be.
CHORUS REPEAT C G Am Fm
VERSE 2 Am Em F C (G)
The loneliness he left me,
Finds its corner, inside my soul.
The love he kindled burns free,
And devours, my living whole.
LEAD CHORUS CHORDS C G Am Fm
VERSE 3 Am Em F C (G)
My tears fall to the floor,
I remember the words he told me.
It could have been much more,
But it was all it could be.
CHORUS REPEAT C G Am Fm
END on C
