Verse 1:
Bm
She was like nothing I'd ever known
Bm
Her eyes shine like diamonds in a field of snow
Bm
The man that destiny led her to meet
Cmaj7
Made her feel that life was now complete
Bm
A thousand days have passed
Bm
And nights gone by
Bm
You can see the glow slowly fading from her eyes
Bm
Though she denies her pain and her dismay
Cmaj7
Know I said this to her anyway
🎸
