1.     One more illusion shattered, one more broken dream,

F                        C                         Em   - G

    oh, that the morning brings the sun.

C                    G                          Am                          F

    Gone are days when I could bounce right back again,

F                        C                                 F                  C

    see how the tears roll down, like sweet summer rain.

F                           C                        Em                   F

    Where does it leave me now ? I find myself so free again.

2.     Even the smallest traces of your sweet perfume

F                    C                          Em  G

    open the flood gates and I’m helpless.

C                        G                          Am                     F

    Now as the moonlight shadows cast across my room

F                   C                               F                C

    only the whispered words are heard in the night,

F              C                      Em                   F

    only a silent prayer :  I love you still, I always will.

 

+  C - Am - F     - C - G - Am - F

 

G                    F         C          - G                F

    Out of the dark I stumble          into the light,

G                 F           C              Dm

    only my fear has tumbled, I think I always knew,

         Em

    that I would run to you.

 

    D                                     A                    Bm                        G

3.     Somewhere there’s children playing somewhere far away,

G                       D                   F#m   A

    running with open arms to greet me.

D                 A                     Bm                      G

    Over the hill the sunset dies and fades away,

G                      D                            G                  D

    I turn and I close the door with one last goodbye,

G              D                       F#m                       G

    I will return no more, I’ll take my heart and let it fly....
