[VERSE 1]
If came the hour, if came the [Dm6/A]day
If came the year[Esus4/A] when you went away
How could I live, I’d surely die
What would I be if you say good[E7/D]bye

[VERSE 2]
How would I laugh? How could I [Dm6/A]love?
Could I be[E/A]lieve in a God above?
How would I hope? How could I pray
E Amadd9 | |
If came the hour, if came the day?

But you are [A/C#]here, lying beside me
I watch you [G/B]breathe, each rise and fall
Without you near, then there would [F#m7-5]be
Nothing at all[Em/G][E7/G#]

[VERSE 3]
If in this world, all things must pass
And we must raise the parting glass
No words would ever come
What could I [Am/E]say
If came the hour, if came the day

[VERSE 4]
There’d be no music in my soul
How could I dance, no you to hold?
How could I hear the vio[Am/E]lin?
There’d be no song I could ever sing

But you are [A/C#]here, lying beside me
I watch you [G/B]breathe, each rise and fall
Without you near, then there would [F#m7-5]be
Nothing at [Em/G]all[E7/G#]

[VERSE 5]
Now you awake, the dawn sweeps in
I touch your mouth, I touch your skin
How would I live, if you should go [Am/E]away
If came the hour, if came the day?

[VERSE 1] – a cappella beginning
I remember a meadow one morning in May
With a sky full of dreams that sailed in that day
I was dancing through green waves of grass like the sea
And for a moment in time I could feel I was free

[VERSE 2]
There are waves of forgive – ness and waves of regret
And the first waves of true love I’ll never forget
In the [Bb/D]meadow that morning as I wan – dered alone
There were green waves of yearning for life still unknown

Take me home to the meadow that cradles my heart
Where the waves reach as far as you can see
Take me home to the meadow we’ve been too long apart
I can still hear you calling for me

Take me home to the meadow that cradles my heart
Where the waves reach as far as you can see
Take me home to the meadow we’ve been too long apart
I can still hear you calling for me

[VERSE 3]
What I’d give to remem – ber that heavenly state
Just a moment in time all mine to create
As I’m taking my last breath I know what I will see
There’ll be green waves forever out there waiting for me

Take me home to the meadow that cradles my heart
Where the waves reach as far as you can see
Take me home to the meadow we’ve been too long apart
I can still hear you calling for me
