[Verse]
             Em             F        C
We travelled on this road together
            F                 G       C
To live the day and dream the night
            Em          F      C
We made our promises forever
             G              C        Am
Our star was always burning bright

[Verse]
          G              C        F
As subtle beauty favours loving
      C                  G      C
I was yours and you were mine
            Em           F        C
Each to the other freely giving
          G                   C
Treasured gifts of pearls and wine

[Verse]
        Em                  F         C
When misfortune crossed our journey
             F                    G        C
The winds of change blew cold and strong
              Em                F      C
We turned our backs against the fury
             G                  C      Am
This was our time, this was our song

[Verse]
             G                   C          F
There may be jewels that sparkle brighter
           C               G      C
And nectar from the Gods divine
            Em                F         C
But none so pure, nor love so greater
          G                   C
Treasured gifts of pearls and wine

[Verse]
       Em               F          C
As the sun fades in the distance
              F            G       C
And makes its journey into night
          Em             F         C
Sparkling crystalline in shadows
            G              C        Am
Our star is always burning bright

[Verse]
             G                  C        F
And though a cloud may hide its beauty
          C               G      C
It cannot stay, it has no time
            Em               F      C
Each to the other pays their duty
          G                   C
Treasured gifts of pearls and wine
            Em               F     C G/B C
Each to the other pays their duty
          G                   C
