INTRO: A

          A                       E
There's a song in my soul for the sun goin' down
                               A
When it dies at the end of the day
                                         E
With a sadness descending as soft as the sound
                               A
Of the light that was slipping away


CHORUS 1:
    D                       A
The heavens above me seemed empty and gray
   D                           A      E
As dreams that won't ever come true
         A                      E
Then the star-spangled glory of love filled the skies
                                A
And my heart with the wonder of you


SOLO: A  E  A


Pretty berries I carried to you
Pretty flowers still holding your hand
Pretty reasons for dreams comin' true
And for doin' the best that you can


CHORUS 2:
I swear to be thankful the rest of my days
And worthy of whatever I do
For the chance I was given to live and believe
In the love and the wonder of you
