G                Em
To hear your voice  to see you smile 
 Am7                    D 
To sit and talk to you awhile 
G                  Em 
To be together the same old way 
Am7                             D 
That would be our greatest wish today
 
[Verse]
 G                  Em 
To hear you laugh  to hear you cry 
Am7                         D
Or just a chance to say  goodbye 
G                 Em 
To say the things we didn't say 
Am7                              D 
That would be our greatest wish today 

[Chorus]
G             Em             Am7           D
But all we can do is throw a flower on the water 
G             Em         Am7  D  
Look for the sun through the rain
G             Em         Am7            D  
Lay a little frangipani gentle on the water 
Am7                   G
Remember how we loved you 

[Verse]
G                 Em 
To comb your hair to lace your shoes 
Am7                        D
Buy some flowers  let you choose
 G              Em 
A phone call when you're away
Am7                    D 
 Just to see if you're okay 

[Verse] 
G                  Em
To hear your voice  to see you smile 
 Am7                    D 
To sit and talk to you awhile 
G                Em 
To be together the same old way 
Am7                             D 
That would be our greatest wish today

[Chorus]
 G             Em             Am7           D
But all we can do is throw a flower on the water 
G             Em          Am7  D  
Look for the sun through the rain
 G             Em           Am7         D  
Lay a little frangipani gentle on the water 
Am7                 G
Remember how we loved you 
Am7                G
Remember how we loved you 

[Outro]
G              Em            Am7            D
But all we can do is throw a flower on the water 
G            Em          Am7 D  
Look for the sun through the rain
 G           Em              Am7        D  
Lay a little frangipani gentle on the water 
Am7                 G
Remember how we loved you
