[Verse 1]
    C         G                 C            F                 F
You lay there fighting for each breath while   angels hovered 'round your bed
F                     C                Am                    G
  with open arms like God's own smile,   they led you to the light.
C        G               C   F                          C
  What a battle you have won   and now your journey has   begun
F                   C           G                    C
  to the land where spirits fly   and your soul will never die.

[Chorus]
    F                C            F                C
So,   travel lightly in my heart,   you and I will never part,
F                     C             G                     C
  and far beyond this world we see:   there's a place for you and me.
Am               G            F                    C
  And I thank my lucky stars:   we had a chance to heal our scars.
F                      C            G               C
  Now, I don't have to hang my head   over things I wish I'd said.

[Interlude]
Am            | G             | F             | C             |
F             | C     Am      | G             | C             ||

[Verse 2]
C             G            C      F                      F
  So, here am I, your only   son,   I'm thinking back on work we've done;
F                     C            Am               G
  you were strong and I was young,   man we had our fights.
C          G       C            F                    C
  And everything I felt for you   has been turned to something new,
F                    C          G                   C
  and this is love I feel today   it will never go away.

[Chorus]
    F                C            F                C
So,   travel lightly in my heart,   you and I will never part,
F                 C             G                     C
  far beyond this world we see,   there's a place for you and me.
Am                G               F                    C
  And I thank the moon and stars,   we had a chance to heal our scars.
F                      C            G               C
  Now, I don't have to hang my head   over things I wish I'd said.

[End-Chorus]
Am                G              F                 C
  I don't have to hide my tears,   I don't have to drown my fears,
F                     C            G               C
  and I don't have to hang my head   over things I wish I'd said.
F                     C             G               C               C
  No, I don't have to live in dread   over things I wish I'd said.
