  Walking away from the past that   allows me to feel

Bridge 1:
DmDm Dm     Dm/C     Dm/C
  But there's nothing more beautiful
Dm/B   Dm/B     Dm/Bb    Dm/Bb
Than the flowers whose blooming I've missed

Over horizons that I    haven't yet kissed

  And there's nothing that the world can    do or say

Bb majorBb     Bb majorBb     Bb majorBb   Bb majorBb
It's in my sorrow that I justify
