Shed a tear now,

shed a tear for all the years of love, 
F        Dm 
lay your fear down,

lay the fears you're holding near your heart.

Cos I     am here now,

silently you'll know it's me each day, 
    Dm  C/E  F         G7 
cos I     am near now, 
    Gm           C               F  
so know that the near isn't far away.

a melody when days are long and grey, 
F          Dm 
raise your head now, 
Gm                                       C 
raise your head and embrace the brighter day.
