It's been a year since last we met
         C         G
We may never meet again
       C               F
I have struggled to forget
        C        G      C
but the struggle was in vain
        F           G      Am
For her voice lives on the breeze
        F      G        Am
and her spirit comes at will
       F        G      Am
In the midnight on the seas
    F            G         Am
her bright smile haunts me still
       C               F
In the midnight on the seas
    C            G         C
her bright smile haunts me still
       C                F
I have sailed a falling sky
         C       F G      G
and have charted hazard's path
       C               F
I have seen the storm arise
       C     G      C
like a giant in its wrath
      F      G      Am
Every danger I have known
       F        G        Am
that a reckless life can fill
           F        G       Am
Though her presence now has flown
    F            G         Am
her bright smile haunts me still
           C                F      
Though her presence now has flown
    F            G         C
her bright smile haunts me still
       C                   F
At the first sweet dawn of light
     C    F G  C    G
As I gaze upon the deep
    C                    F
Her form still greets my sight
          C            G      C
while the stars, their vigils keep
       F        G      Am
When I close my aching eyes
      F          G        Am
sweet dreams, my memories fill
         F           G  Am
and from sleep, when I arise
    F            G         Am
her bright smile haunts me still
         C            F
and from sleep when I arise
    F            G         C
her bright smile haunts me still
