A
No one can take your place with me
                              E7
And time has proven that I'm right
There's no place I'd rather be
                            A
Than at your place for the night

No time can pass your sight unseen
No moment steals away unfound
Lifetime lived in such a dream
Floats like a feather to the ground

Chorus:
D            C#7                  F#m
And for the first time I've been seeing
      D               A          E7
The things I'd never noticed without you
D            C#7               F#m
And for the first time I'm discovering
      D                A        E7
The things I used to treasure about you

The birds like leaves on Winterwood
Sing hopeful songs on dismal days
They've learned to live life as they should
They are at peace with Nature's ways

You are as natural as the night
And all that springs from you is good
And the children born beneath your light
Are like the birds on Winterwood

Chorus
