CHORDS
Fmaj7 x-x-3-5-6-0 or Fmaj7(sus2) x-x-3-0-1-0
The flash from a distant camera
Reconnecting thoughts and actions
Fragments of our missing dream
Pieces from here and there
Fall in place along the line
Disappearing between you and me
Life is changing everywhere I go
New things and old both disappear
If life is a photograph fading in the mirror
All I want is this song of love
Song of love to sing to you
C Cmaj7 D G D C (break) (G)
All I need is this song of love ... to sing for you
| G | % | % | % |
On the floor where daylight dances
With the ones who missed their chances
When they couldn't let it show
Lies the land of sweet surrender
Like a dream it might have ended there
But we didn’t even know
Now forever we will live as one
Floating in love's atmosphere
If love is a piece of dust shining in the sun
All I want is this song of love
Song of love to sing to you
C Cmaj7 D G D C (break) (G)
All I need is this song of love ... to sing for you
