Em                   Am
Right before the you close your eyes
B7              Em
Whispering your prayers
Am
When the sandman blows your eyes
B
I'll be there

Em               Am
When you wake up in the night
B7                Em
Sounds the second stair
     Am
That creaks under the careless foot
B
I'll be there

Am           B7
Gather roses while you may
Em                 Am
While the bloom is full

For the blossom soon will fade
        B
And the bloom grow dull

Em               Am
Right before the morning light
B7                   Em
Creeps soft upon the sill
Am
When the shadows chase the night
   B
I never will

Em                 Am
When your voice is softly heard
B7             Em
Singing in the morning light
Am
But the note does not ring true
B
I'll be there

Am           B7
Gather roses while you may
Em                 Am
While the bloom is full

For the blossom soon will fade
        B
And the bloom grow dull

Em               Am
Right before you sleep at night
B7             Em
Closing up the blind
Am
In the window's black embrace
B
If you find

Em             Am
The face of a lover long-forgot
B7              Em
Forgotten eyes, forgotten hair
Am
Forgotten words that stretch like salt
B
I'll be there

Am           B7
Gather roses while you may
Em                 Am
While the bloom is full

For the blossom soon will fade
        B
And the bloom grow dull
