(Verse pattern)
[C]Hard to believe I won't s[G]ee you again
[Am]We were just fighting when w[Em7]inter began
[F]The coldness of our words [G]competing with the wind from the [C]north.[G]
[C]Still they make me shiver but in a [G]very different way
[Am]The pages of the calendar kept [Em7]turning away
[F]I have some better words now but i[G]t's too late to say them to [C]you.[G]
My dream of all dreams and my hope of all hopes
Is only to tell you and make sure you know
How much I love you and how much I always did.
And yes I know you loved me, I can see it in your eyes
And it was in your struggle and it was in your mind
And it was in the smile you gave me when I was a kid
(Chorus)
Feels like [C]no one u[Am]nderstands[G]
[C]And now m[Am]y only c[G]hance
To t[F]alk to y[G]ou is t[C]hrough [Em7]my p[Am]rayers.
I only [F]wanted to t[G]ell you I care[C]d
(Verse pattern)
Every night after and every day since,
I found myself crying when the memory hit.
Sometimes it knocks me down, sometimes I just put it away.
Down in my mind where I don't care to go
The pain of a lesson is letting me know
If you have love in your heart let it show while you can
Yes now I understand
But now my only chance
To talk to you is through my prayers.
I only wanted to tell you I cared.
I only wanted to tell you I cared.
