A
You're beautiful so silently
G
It lies beneath a shade of blue
D              E
It struck me so violently
A           Aadd9
When I looked at you

But others pass, the never pause,
To feel that magic in your hand
To me you're like a wild rose
They never understand why

As
I cried for you

When the sky cried for you
E6
And when you went
E7      As      Aadd9
I became a hopeless drifter
As
But this life was not for you
E
Though I learned from you,
E7      As      Aadd9
That beauty need only be a whisper

I'll cross the sea for a different world,
With your treasure, a secret for me to hold

In many years they may forget
This love of ours or that we met,
They may not know
how much you meant to me.

I cried for you
And the sky cried for you,
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter.
But this life was not for you,
Though I learned from you,
That beauty need only be a whisper
B        E
Without you now I see,
A    E            D
How fragile the world can be
B           E
And I know you've gone away
A    E            D
But in my heart you'll always stay.

I cried for you
And the sky cried for you,
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter.
But this life was not for you,
Though I learned from you,
That beauty need only be a whisper
That beauty need only be a whisper
