G D Em C D 


[Verso 1]
 
            G                                D 
I pull my chair beside your favorite garden tree 
             Em                                 C 
and whisper quiet thoughts you used to speak to me 
                 G                        G 
The silence in this home no longer feels so cold 
             Am         Am7            D 
I watch the gentle tapestry of life unfold 
           Em                                Bm 
I shed no bitter tears for days that had to part 
           C                D             G   D 
I feel a steady strength returning to my heart 
            Em                               Bm 
I smile to know we walked a full and honest road 
            Am                             D 
And love remains a blessing, never just a load

           G                                    D 
I promise you I'll live these years ahead with pride 
                   Em                          Bm7 
With every step I take, you're standing by my side 
            C        D              Bm7        Em 
I will not hide away   or let the shadows win 
           Am                                 D 
I welcome healing warmth and purpose back within 
                         G                    D 
My heart will keep your name resilient and serene 
                Em                        Bm 
To honor every field of joy that we have seen 
            C            D               Bm  Em 
I'm living fully now, until our spirits rind 
Am                D7               G 
And carrying our love across the span of time 
 


[Verso 2]
 
                                        D   Em 
I trim the winter roses growing by the wall 
                           C             D  G 
And made the berry jam we harvest every fall 
                          Bm 
I set a single plate upon    the quiet table 
     Cm7              Am      Am7         D 
And keep our home as peaceful     as I am able 
            Em                                 Bm 
I read the gentle books you loved when day is done 
              Cm7           D7          G   D 
And keep the simple habits woven one by one 
             Em                              Bm 
Each quiet chore becomes a prayer of silent grace 
            Am               C              D 
Reflecting back the sweetness    of your loving face
