there were candles in the darkness, singing in the choir.
Am
Em
And
reading out the names of all the ones who've gone before,
F C
G
well, I could tell that you were thinking about the meaning of it all.
F G
And
you said to me, "Who will open up my eyes,
F C

to
the wonder and the glory, and the stars in the sky."
F G

say that over in the corner sat the writer
Ernest Hemmingway.

and

who
will teach me, with conviction all the ways of the heart?"

And you
said to me, "On this journey of my life,
