[Verse 1]
       C              Am
As the dew turns into frost
F                         G
There is something that I hope will
C
Not be lost
C                       Am
The leaves will change, they'll start
Am
To fall
Am      G                          C
I still wonder if it mattered much at all
 
 
[Refrain]
C       F               Dm
When my world starts to fade
Dm      C                         A
I can only hope that every choice I
A
Made
A     F                Dm     G
Will endure, and carry on ... into the
G        C
Coming dawn

[Verse 2]
            C                 Am
The breezes blow, soft clouds drift by
          F               G        C
Like some artists' canvas captured in my eye
C              Am
I am sure, I'm holding fast
Am   F           G                  C
I am dying for a lifetime that will last
C           F                Dm
But when my world, starts to fade
Dm                               A
I'm still hoping this foundation that I laid
A    F                 Dm     G
Will endure, and carry on ... into the
G      C
Coming dawn

[Verse 3]
         C             Am
We're so close, yet never touch
          F              G
Can there be a love that changes me
C
This much
        C           Am
I can't see, eyes open wide
F                           G
Yet I'll never doubt you're standing
G     C
By my side

Made

Will endure, and carry on ... into the
