I saw the trees change
D G C Em D
That golden glittering evening
G C Em
I fell asleep there
D G C
and all around me angels were singing
Em D G
and I dreamed I was aging away
C Em D
G C Em D (2x)
G C Em
I saw the fu-ture
D G C Em D
and I still had all my close friends
G C
I saw my daugh-ter
Em D G C
in love with ponies and roses
Em D
she looked just like her mother and
G C Em D
With my heart shining through my chest
G C Em D
I provided her with light to grow
G C Em D
With my heart shining through my chest
G C G
I will light her way back home
[chorus]
C Em D G C
and I know that life may be passing me by
Em D
but I wanna be eighteen forever here
G C Em D G C
and I hope that life's what I'm feeling inside
Em D
'cause I'm gonna be eighteen forever there
G C Em D
and I swear I will do my best
G C G
To have the time of my life while I'm here
C Em D
G C Em D (3x)
G C Em
When I awoke there
D G C Em D
I was overcome with direction
G C Em
and as I walked home
D G C
I remembered lilacs and handsome nights when I
Em D
painted my hands with gold
G C Em D
And with my heart shining through my chest
G C Em D
I illuminate the road ahead
G C Em D
But with my heart shining through my chest
G C G
I'm not ready to take it yet
[Chorus]
C Em D G C
and though the road has been laid out and now bends away
Em D G C
can we just be still for a second more?
Em D G C
I know the road will move beneath our frightened feet
Em D G
even if we decide not to move at all
C Em D G
My heart shining through my chest
C Em D G
I'll put one foot ahead
C Em D
with my heart shining though my chest
G C
I'll take your hand in mine
Em D G
and lead you through the night
[chorus]
....
G C Em D
and I swear I will do my best
G C Em D
if you swear you will do your best
G C Em D
we should all swear to do our best
G C G
To have the time of our lives while we're here
C Em D
G C Em D (3x)
