C
It's in smiles
A lover’s eyes
Dm C F
It’s in joy when it needs no disguise
F C Dm C F C G
It’s in fairytales and lullabies; stories that hold true
[Verse 2]
C
It’s in hugs
Apple pies
Dm C F
It’s in love that grows old but never dies
F C F C Gsus4 G
These things make me glad to be alive
[Chorus]
Am F C
We’ll never be able
C F
To treasure life enough
F C Gsus4 G
When death comes my heart is overcome
Am F C
We’ll never be able
C F
To treasure life enough
F C Gsus4 G
When death comes I start looking up
[Verse 3]
C
Little legs
They sit upon a shoulder
Dm C F
It’s in blonde curls that won’t be there when she’s older
F C Dm C
It’s in raising up what was raised in us
F C G
Spending Sunday in a pew
[Verse 4]
C
And it’s in Fall
Winter Summer Spring
Dm C F
When we’re driving down the road and start to sing
F C Dm G
Falling leaves and clear blue skies and all the things we’ve made it through
[Chorus]
Am F C
Ohhhh I’ll never be able
C F
To treasure life enough
F C Gsus4 G
When death comes my heart is overcome
Am F C
And though I’ll never be able
C F
To treasure life enough
F C Gsus4 G
When death comes I start looking up
[Chorus]
Am F C
We’ll never be able
C F
To treasure life enough
F C Gsus4 G
When death comes it’s a window to my past
Am F C
Though I’ll never be able
C F
To treasure life enough
F C Gsus4 G
When death comes I try to find a life that will last
Am
Cause life is going so fast
F
Life is going so fast
[Ending]
Am
Dear heart stay sober
F G
It is only October
F G C
Octobers end and tired hearts mend
