G D/F# Em G7/D
Here I am, and closing my eyes again,
C G/B Am7 D G
Trying so hard not to see all the things that I see.
D/F# Em G7/D
Almost willing to lie again,
C G/B Am7 D G
I swear that it just isn't so, It just isn't me.
D/F# Em G7/D C G/B Am7 G D D7
We are never alone even tho' we'd like to be.
G D/F# Em G7/D
Then I go and open my eyes again
C G/B Am7 D G
Love in your eyes is the thing that I'd most like to see.
D/F# Em G7/D
I'd be willing to die again,
C G/B Am7 D G
To know of a place and a time where it always could be;
D/F# Em G7/D C G/B Am7 G D
To be always with you, and you al--ways with me.
F#o G Am D7 G
This is my autograph, here in the songs that I sing,
F#o G Am D7 G
Here in my cry and in my laugh, here in the love that I bring
D/F# Em G7 C G/B Am7 G D
To be always with you and you al--ways with me.
G D/F# Em G7/D
Say a pray'r and open your heart again
C G/B Am7 D G
You are the love and the light that we all need to see
D/F# Em G7/D
Always willing to shine and then
C G/B Am7 D G
Peace on this earth is the way that it always can be
D/F# Em G7 C G/B Am7 G D
To be always with you and you al--ways with me.
F#o G Am D7 G
This is my autograph, here in the songs that I sing,

Here in my cry and in my laugh, here in the love that I bring
