The autumn leaves were falling 
         G 
On these old cathedral walls 
           Dm                      C 
There were candles in the darkness 
               G 
Singing in the choir 
    Am 
And reading out the names 
           G 
Of all the ones who've gone before 
              F 
Well, I could tell that you were thinking 
          C             G 
About the meaning of it all 
  
  
Chorus 1: 
        F                    G 
And you said to me "Who will open up my eyes 
       F                              C            G 
To the wonder, and the glory, and the stars in the sky?" 
        F                    G 
And you said to me "For this road I'm travelling on 
  Em       F                C G   F   G F 
I need someone beside me forever. Who?  Who?" 
  
  
Chorus 2: 
  G          C           Dm       G 
I said "It's me, and I'm ready to go 
E        Am                    F 
Ready to show, that I'll never let you down 
      C                           G 
And I want you to know, that this power will grow 
      Am                    F 
Every day, every beat of my heart 
                   Am 
Forever, forever" 
  
  
  
We went down to the river 
       G 
And we found a small café 
               Dm 
They said that over in the corner 
               C            G 
Sat the writer Ernest Hemingway 
    Am                            G 
And here he made his story of the lovers in the war 
               F 
And through it all they stayed together 
         C           G 
'Til the rain had to fall 
  
  
Chorus 1: 
        F                     G 
And you said to me, "Who will be the one apart 
         F                                  C           G 
Who will teach me, with conviction, all the ways of the heart?" 
        F                    G 
And you said to me, "On this journey of my life, 
       F                     C G   F   G F 
I need someone to love me forever. Who?  Who?" 
  
  
Chorus 2: 
          G              C           Dm       G 
And I said, listen "It's me, and I'm ready to go 
E        Am                    F 
Ready to show, that I'll never let you down 
      C                           G 
And I want you to know, that this power will grow 
      Am                    F 
Every day, every beat of my heart 
                          
I love you, I love you" 
      C   Dm  G  E  Am 
"It's me 
               F 
And I'll never let you down 
      C                           G 
And I want you to know, that this power will grow 
      Am                    F 
Every day, every beat of my heart 
  
Forever, I love you, forever"
