3  5   5  -4   4     4
A-lone for a while, I've
-3    -2    -3    4     -4   3 
been search-ing through the dark.
3   -2   -3 4   -2  -2
For trac-es of the love
3    4   5  -5   5
you left in-side my
4    5   -5
lone-ly heart.
5   6    6   -6   6  -5
To weave by pick-ing up
-5   5   5   -4  -4  5 -5
the pie-ces that re-main.
5  -5  4   -2  4 4
Me-lo-dies of li-fe,
-4      5   -5   -4
love's lost re-frain.

3    5     5   -4    4
Our paths they did cross,
4     -3 -2  -3   4   -4   3
though I can-not say just why.
3  -2   -3   4      -2  -2  3   4
We met, we laughed, we held on fast,
5     -5  5  4     5  -4
and then we said good-bye.
5     6     6   -6  6   -5
And who'll hear the e-choes
-5  5   5   -4 -4   5 -5
of sto-ries ne-ver told?
-5   -5   4   -2    4
Let them ring out loud,
-4     5  -5  4
till they un-fold.

-5 5   -4  4   -3  4  -4
In my dea-rest me-mo-ries,
36  66 -5   5    -4   4  -4 5
I  see you reach-ing out to me.
-5      5      -4
Though you're gone,
5  -5    5  -4    4
I still be-lieve that
-3   4   5    6  -5  -4
you can call out my name.

4      -4   5  -3
Voice from the past,
-4    4   -4    3  -2
join-ing yours and mine.
-2  -5   5  5   -4 -4 4
Ad-ding up the lay ers
-2 -3  4  -4
of har-mo-ny.
4   -4  5  6    5  -3  -2
And so it goes, on and on.
-5  5  5   -4  -4 
Me-lo-dies of life,
-4 6  -5  -5  5   5
to   the sky be-yond,
-4   5   -5   6
the fly-ing birds,
5 -5 5  -3   -4  -4  4  4  
f-or-ev-e--r and be-yond.
