G Bm C G / G Bm C D / G Bm C G / G Bm F G
We’re all born and we all die
And in between we laugh and cry
No matter how I prayed and pined
My love was lost before her time
From dust we come to dust we go
Around the universe we flow
A whisper in the cosmic winds
A ghostly kiss along our skin
Now she sees the galaxies unfold
She hears the ancient suns explode
My love is calmly at its core
Time and space lap at her shore
My love shines in the midnight sky
In the darkness she is the light
She is the moon she is the stars
Her constellations guide my heart
From Chaos, Love makes life anew
My love and I made new life too
Our daughter sits beside me now
And she like lush new planets grows
We’re all born and we all die
And in between we laugh and cry
Though this truth is so banal
It’s still a shock when the names are called
My baby was gone too soon
The sun comes up to start each day
I burn in its brightness I look for the shade
I want to return to the still of the night
To bathe in the silence that the day’s brightness hides
