G7 | C | G7 | C [Verse 1] G Words that form a sentence G Words that form a phrase Cmaj7 In a poem or a letter G Could not convey the meaning G Of what this man has done Cmaj7 In a painting, on a canvas G7 | C | G7 | C [Verse 2] G And as the color's fading G They dictate my mood Cmaj7 Can you see me? Are you near me? G I find myself on canvas G I find myself on stage Cmaj7 Can you see me? Are you near me? [Chorus] G7 And I long to know you're real And I long for you to be a part of me C And I long to know you're real And I long for you to be a part of me [Verse 3] G And in the fading twilight G I sit and stare at her Cmaj7 In all her beauty, her beauty G You know I have to wonder G Why all great men must die Cmaj7 And leave their treasure, they leave their treasure
