Still in 9/8

| By a | candle stands a mirror of his | heart and soul she dances |
| E/A | G/A | |
| She was d | ancing through the night above his | bed |
| D/F# | |
| And | walking to the window |
| Esus4 | |
| He | throws the shutters out against the wall |
| A | Asus4 | A | Asus2 |

| Heaven must be more than this |
| D/A | |
| When | angels waken with a kiss |
| E/A |
| Sacred hearts won’t take the pain |
| G/A | |
| But | mine will never be the same |
| D/F# | |
| He | stands before the window |
| Esus4 | A | |
| His | shadow slowly fading from the | wall |

| A | |
| Let the light sur | round you |
