                  A             Em
I could hold you like this all day
                  G             D
Didn't get much sleep, that's okay
               A              Em
Not a single thing needs to change
               G                D
We can be the light that don't fade away

   A                         Em                    G D
I wish you could see what I see when I'm seein' you
   A                      Em                G D
I want you to know how I know that I need you
 A                      Em                       G D
No one can do what you do when you get me through
      A                         Em                   G D
So I wish you could see what I see when I'm seein' you

Chorus:
                  A             Em
I could hold you like this all day
                  G             D
Didn't get much sleep, that's okay
               A              Em
Not a single thing needs to change
               G                 D
We can be the light that, don't fade
              A            Em
Baby, we can keep our own time (Hmmmmmm babe)
                     G           D
Forget about what's goin' on outside (Hmmmmmm babe)
                 A                 Em
People say that nothin' gold can stay (Hmmmmmm babe)
               G                 D
We can be the light that, don't fade away (Hmmmmmm babe)

I wish you could see what I see when I'm seein' you
I want you to know how I know that I need you
(Hmm, babe)
No one can do what you do when you get me through
(Hmm, babe)
So I wish you could see what I see when I'm seein' you
(Hmm, babe)

Chorus:
I could hold you like this all day
Didn't get much sleep, that's okay
Not a single thing needs to change
We can be the light that don't fade
Baby, we can keep our own time
Forget about what's goin' on outside
People say that nothin' good can stay
We can be the light that don't fade away
