Standard (EADGBE)

Come into these arms again

 And lay your body down

Th' rhythm of this trembling heart

 Is beating like a drum.

 It beats for you, it bleeds for you

 It knows not how it sounds.

 For it is the drum of drums

 It is the song of songs.

Once I had the rarest rose that

ever deigned to bloom.

Cruel winter chilled the balm,

And stole my flower too soon

O loneliness, O hopelessness

To search the ends of time,

For there is in all the world

No greater love than mine.

Love....Still falls the rain.

Love....Be mine forever...

Let me be the only one

To keep you from the cold.

Now the floor of heav'n is laid,

Its stars of brightest glow.

They shine for you.

They shine for you.

They burn for all to see.

Come into these arms again

And set this spirit free.
