A You're beautiful so silentlyG It lies beneath a shade of blueD E It struck me so violentlyA Aadd9 When I looked at you But others pass, the never pause, To feel that magic in your hand To me you're like a wild rose They never understand whyAs I cried for you When the sky cried for youE6 And when you wentE7 As Aadd9 I became a hopeless drifterAs But this life was not for youE Though I learned from you,E7 As Aadd9 That beauty need only be a whisper I'll cross the sea for a different world, With your treasure, a secret for me to hold In many years they may forget This love of ours or that we met, They may not know how much you meant to me. I cried for you And the sky cried for you, And when you went I became a hopeless drifter. But this life was not for you, Though I learned from you, That beauty need only be a whisperB E Without you now I see,A E D How fragile the world can beB E And I know you've gone awayA E D But in my heart you'll always stay. I cried for you And the sky cried for you, And when you went I became a hopeless drifter. But this life was not for you, Though I learned from you, That beauty need only be a whisper That beauty need only be a whisper
