Sweetest surrender of winter

She put up her flag, it is waving

And my, how that feeling has changed

Oh, I have been homesick for you since we met

If I die it's for you

I never lived 'til I lived in your light

D#
Kiss of the wind in the hill
 
The clearness of morning, the late evening thrill
Fm                          D#
Blurry and gray like the roar
Fm                                         D#
The wheels on the highway, above them I soar
 
D#
When I'm in the sweet daughter's eyes
D#
My heart is now ruined for the rest of all time
Fm                                 D#
There's no part of it left to give
Fm                                 D#
There's no part of it left to give
 
 
 
G#                     D#
I never lived 'til I lived in your light

And my heart never beat like it does at the sight
   G#                  D#
Of you baby blue, God blessed your life
Fm                   G#              D#
I do not live 'less I live in your light
Fm                   G#              D#
I do not live 'less I live in your light
Fm                       G#                 D#
I do not live
