Intro: | F | dm Bbm | Ab Db | F |
F
1. I heard he sang a lullaby
Gm
I heard he sang it from his heart
C
When I found out thought I would die
F
Because that lullaby was mine
2. I heard he sealed it with a kiss
Gm
He gently kissed her cherry lips
C
I found that so hard to believe
F
Because his kiss belonged to me
Chorus: Dm
How could an angel break my heart
Fdim7 Dm7
Why didn't he catch my falling star
B C
I wish I didn't wish so hard
B Dm7
Maybe I wished our love apart
Gm7 F
How could an angel break my heart
3. F
I heard her face was white as rain
Gm
Soft as a rose that blooms in May
C
He keeps her picture in a frame
F
And when he sleeps he calls her name
I wonder if she makes him smile
Gm
The way he used to smile at me
C
I hope she doesn't make him laugh
F
Because his laugh belongs to me
but instead of the last F, play Gm7
F C7 Am7 B
Bridge: Oh my soul is dying, it?s crying
G7 F Dm7
I'm trying to understand
Gm Dm
Please help me
but instead of the last F, play Gm7
Ending: ..... F
