Intro A  C#m  F#m  D  E

A 
Back there at the old times sometimes you used to cross my street 
C#m 
You looked in my eyes and I felt like I couldn’t blink 
F#m 
Once in a while I wished I had the guts to talk with you 
D                        E 
And I hope after all you know that I would if I could 
A 
But I was always such a shy kid and you were out of reach 
C#m 
So every time I saw a falling star I made a wish 
F#m 
And deep inside I knew someday it has to become true 
D                            E 
You know I kept my faith in us my whole life through 

A 
Time goes by and we must wait 
C#m 
And God works in mysterious ways 
F#m 
Last week you met somebody new 
D          E 
And all my world fell down

A 
A year later you crossed my gate wearing a gold ring 
C#m 
I heard you both got married in a pleasant day of spring 
F#m 
And now it has been a while since you packed your things and moved 
D                    E 
I really hope I have the chance to see you again soon

F#m 
Then you came back to visit your hometown 
Bm 
Your daughter had your eyes, your nose, your mouth 
F#m                          D                      E 
And swear that I felt like I had not a single thing left 

A 
But you looked at me the same way you did when we were kids 
C#m 
You said you missed me much and then you kissed me on my cheek 
F#m 
I looked into your teary eyes and I found out the truth 
D                          E 
We'll never be together but I'll always be with you
