The previous version was incomplete. This version contains all the lyrics and
chords. I do not know
the picking pattern for the guitar during the verses, chorus, or bridge so I did
not include it, I
included the chords for strumming (rhythm).

INTRO X 2
VERSE 1
Even in the quietest moments,
I wish I knew,
what I had to do.
And even though the sun is shining,
well, I feel the rain,
hear it comes again,
dear.
\*
And even when you showed me,
my heart was out of tune,
for there's a shadow of doubt
that's not letting me find you to soon.
The music that you gave me,
the language of my soul,
Lord I wanna be with you, won't you
let me come in from the cold?
CHORUS 1
Don't you let the sun fade away,
don't you let the sun fade away,
don't you let the sun be leaving,
*/
won't you come to me soon?
VERSE 2
Even though the stars are listening,
and the oceans deep,
I just go to sleep.
And then I create the silent movie,
you become the star,
is that what you are,
dear?
\*
Your whisper tells a secret,
your laughter brings me joy,
and a wonder of feeling I'm
nature's own little boy.
But still the tears keep falling,
they're raining from the sky.
Well there's a lot of me got go
under before I get high.
CHORUS 2
Don't you let the sun disappear,
don't you let the sun disappear,
don't you let the sun be leaving,
no, you come to me soon.
BRIDGE
And can't be leaving my life.
Say that you won't be leaving my life.
Say won't you please, say won't you please.
Lord won't you come and get into my life?
Say won't you please, say won't you please,
*/
oh, Lord don't go...
VERSE 3
And even when the song is over,
where have I been,
was it just a dream?
And though your door is always open,
where do I begin,
may I please come in,
dear.
NOTE: Strum last chord slow; each note should sound out individually, not as a whole.
