D A
You know, someone told me once that angels don't exist
C G A
And that paradise was just a poor man's dream
D A
Without hesitation, I can say he was mistaken
C G
'Cause I've wrapped my arms around celestial wings
G/F# Em D/F# G G/F#
But for reasons we don't know, some aren't meant to be here long
Em D/F# A
And then one day the good Lord calls them home
[Chorus]
Bbm Bm A
Now I may never find peace or ful- fill some destiny
G G/F# Em A
I may be cursed just to walk this earth alone
Bbm Bm A
And I never will erase the memory of her gentle face
G G/F# Em
But I can go to the other side with a smile
F# G A
'Cause I knew heaven for a while

D A
The other day I took a drive to that place up on the hill
C G A
I brought flowers and I laid them on the stone
D A
And I sat there for some time with this runnin' through my mind
C G
How much we take for granted till it's gone
G/F# Em D/F# G G/F#
Then I got back in my car and I slowly drove away
Em D/F# A
Knowing she was in a better place
[Chorus]
Bbm Bm A
Now I may never find peace or ful- fill some destiny
G G/F# Em A
I may be cursed just to walk this earth alone
Bbm Bm A
And I never will erase the memory of her gentle face
G G/F# Em
But I can go to the other side with a smile
F# G A
'Cause I knew heaven for a while
[Bridge]
F C Eb D
The world turns and seasons change
Em D/F# G A
And rivers keep on runnin' to the sea
F C Eb D
Tears dry and hearts heal
Em D/F# A
And what is meant to be will always be ---
[Chorus]

Now I may never find peace or ful- fill some destiny
