C#m         G#7sus4 G#
Kindness in your eyes
Amaj7       G#7sus4   G#
I guess you heard me cry
     F#m/C#
You smiled at me
      B          C#7sus4 C#m
Like Jesus to a child

I'm blessed I know
Heaven sent and heaven stole
You smiled at me
Like Jesus to a child

                 Amaj7
And what have I learned
      B
From all this pain
   Amaj7             B
I thought I'd never feel the same
Emaj7/G#      G#7sus4     G#
About anyone or anything again
But now I know

Chorus:
         C#m
When you find a love
           B            Amaj7
When you know that it exists
          G#m            F#m/C#
Then the lover that you miss
      G#                 C#7sus4         C#m
Will come to you on those cold, cold nights
C#m
When you've been loved
           B                 Amaj7
When you know it holds such bliss
          G#m            F#m/C#
Then the lover that you kissed
     G#                        C#7sus4       C#m
Will comfort you when there's no hope in sight

Sadness in my eyes
No one guessed and no one tried
You smiled at me like Jesus to a child
Loveless and cold
With your last breath you saved my soul
You smiled at me like Jesus to a child
And what have I learned from all these tears
I've waited for you all those years
Then just when it began he took your love away
But I still say

Chorus:
When you find a love
When you know that it exists
Then the lover that you miss
Will come to you on those cold, cold nights
When you've been loved
When you know it holds such bliss
Then the lover that you kissed
Will comfort you when there's no hope in sight

C#m/A#  Amaj7-5            G#m
So the words you could not say
                   C#
I'll sing them for you
C#m/A#   Amaj7-5            G#m
And the love we would have made
              C#
I'll make it for two
F#m/C#     G#          C#m
For every single memory
      C#m/A#        Amaj7-5 G# Amaj7
Has become a part of me
C#m               B Amaj7
You will always be
       G#m F#m/C# G# C#m
My love

C#m
Well I've been loved
       B                 Amaj7
So I know just what love is
         G#m          F#m/C#   G#           C#m B Amaj7
And the lover that I kissed is always by my side
         G#m          F#m/C#   G#          C#m
Oh the lover I still miss was Jesus to a child
