D                    G
The silent sun that never shines
C                        D
She is the warmth of my lonely heart
                 G
The motion of a turning wheel
C                      D
Can't you stop it and look around

Chorus:
 G        F        C
Baby you feel so close
Am                G
I wish you could see my love
 G            F         C
Baby you've changed my life
Am              G        C D
I'm trying to show you why

A tiny stone that hides from me
Can't you see that I'm just outside?
A mountain stream that chills the sea
Can't you feel in your useless pride?

Chorus:
Baby you feel so close
I wish you could see my love
Baby you've changed my life
I'm trying to show you.

When night reveals a star-filled sky
I want to hold it in my hands
When snowflakes heal the ugly ground
Your beauty hides the joy I've found

Chorus:
Baby you feel so close
I wish you could see my love
Baby you've changed my life
I'm trying to show you.
