"Lamplight Symphony"
A minorAm          C minorCm                G minorGm
On a winter's night, stars are cold and bright in the sky,
G minorGm             F minorFm     G minorGm
The slumber of the earth is pure and deep
A minorAm         C minorCm           G minorGm
From a distant wood, drifts the echo of a beast
G minorGm          F minorFm           A minorAm
The old man stirs and wakens in the night
DmDm                        C majorC
He stands before the window gazing at the grave
DmDm                         C majorC
Forgotten dreams are flashing through his weary mind
DmDm                C majorC                     A2
And though his life is empty, he pretends that she's still there

A minorAm            C minorCm                 G minorGm
With hunger in his soul, he yearns for life and love gone by,
G minorGm        F minorFm         G minorGm
With memories his one and only joy
A minorAm            C minorCm                        G minorGm
But All he has to give, you know he would gladly give to bring back the life,
G minorGm          F minorFm            A minorAm
And raise the one who lies beneath the snow
DmDm                       C majorC
He lights a lamp and looks at pictures of the past
DmDm                       C majorC
The faces of their youth still glow with new-found love,
DmDm             C majorC           A2
But the pictures faded, and time has stolen youth away

DmDm                      C minorCm
With a spoken word that he thought he heard from her lips,
DmDm           Bb majorBb            FF
He felt another presence in the room,
DmDm                     C minorCm
He was filled with fear but turned with joy he arose
DmDm                              A minorAm
And turned to face the image that he knew
DmDm                        C minorCm
She stood before him and her hand reached out for his
DmDm                       Bb majorBb
A augmentedA peaceful light shone in her eyes
C majorC                 Bb majorBb            DmDm
She said she'd come to soothe him, and that someday they'd be as one

A minorAm          C minorCm           G minorGm
She began to fade and her image disappeared,
G minorGm           F minorFm          G minorGm
So he was left alone to face another night,
A minorAm                C minorCm     G minorGm
Never in his life, had he been so held in awe,
G minorGm         F minorFm       A minorAm
As he faced the apparition of his wife
DmDm                       C majorC
He stood before the window gazing at the grave,
DmDm                       C majorC
And with a lightened heart he saw the first of dawn,
DmDm                C majorC             D MajorD
He knew that she was waiting, that someday they'd be as one
