Intro
[Bb] [F] [Gm] [Dm] [Ebm7] [F]
Verse 1
[Bb] [Cm] [Bb]
The thread of gold weaves through the morning air
[Gm] [Dm] [Eb]
Touching the silver in your tangled hair
[Bb] [Gm]
I watch your fingers, frail and etched with blue
[Cm] [F]
Tracing the wedding band that's worn and true
Verse 2
[Bb] [Cm] [Bb]
We share our tea in silence, sweet and deep
[F] [Gm] [Dm] [Eb]
Between the secrets that we chose to keep
[Bb] [F] [Gm]
You smile at me, a soft and weary grace
[Eb] [Bb] [F] [Bb]
And I find fifty years within your face
Chorus
[F]
I close my eyes and suddenly it's May
[Gm] [Dm]
The scent of clover from a distant day
[Eb] [Bb]
We're running barefoot through the summer rain
[Cm] [F]
Two reckless hearts without a touch of pain
Verse 3
[Bb] [F]
I see you dancing in that dress of blue
[Gm] [Dm]
When all the world was white and bright and new
[Eb] [Bb]
We were the architects of dreams so grand
[Cm] [F]
Now all those years are grains of golden sand
Chorus
[Bb] [F] [Gm]
And I wonder as the clock begins to chime
[Dm] [Eb] [Bb] [F]
How much is left of our borrowed time
[Bb] [F] [Gm]
How many more mornings can I wake to your name
[Dm] [Cm] [F] [Bb]
Before the winter snuffs the candle flame
Bridge
[Gm] [Dm]
It's a happy ache, a sweet and heavy no
[Eb] [F] [Bb]
Because I love you so, I'm not ready to go
[Gm] [Dm]
In the remaining time, let the light stay bright
[Eb] [F] [Bb]
Hold me a little closer before the coming night
Instrumental
[Gm] [Dm] [Eb] [Bb] [F] [Gm] [Eb] [F]
Verse 4
[Bb] [F] [Gm]
We've been a symphony of grit and gold
[Dm] [Eb] [Bb] [F]
A story that never seems to grow old
[Bb] [F] [Gm]
I'm not asking for forever or a life that's new
[Cm] [Fsus4]
Just one more yesterday to spend with you
[F] [Eb] [F] [Gm]
It's the cruelest gift that time has ever gave
[Cm] [Fsus4] [F]
To love so much and have so much to save
Chorus
[Bb] [F] [Gm]
So I wonder as the clock begins to chime
[Dm] [Eb] [Bb] [F]
How much is left of our borrowed time
[Bb] [F] [Gm]
How many more mornings can I wake to your name
[Dm] [Cm] [F] [Bb]
Before the winter snuffs the candle flame
Outro
[F] [Gm] [Dm]
It's been a lovely life, more than I could claim
[Eb] [Fsus4] [Bb] [F]
Still holding the embers of a sacred flame
[Gm] [F] [Eb] [Bb]
The tea is warm and you are here
[Cm] [Bb] [Gm] [Dm]
Every second left is the one I hold dear
[Eb] [Ebm7] [F] [Bb] [F] [Eb] [F] [Bb]
Just stay in the quiet with me
