Words and Music by Graham Nash from his 2016 album, "This Path Tonight." [Intro] D [Verse 1]
       D                         Bm
It all starts to happen with the sun going down,

         D                      A         D
When the light gently falls and fades away.

                                 Bm
And the air hangs heavy with the scent of your soul,

        D                       A           D
As it's saying goodbye to the end of the day.
[Verse 2]
       D                   Bm
And it all begins with the kiss of a lifetime

       D                    A             D
That's never been given and never been alone.

                                 Bm
And is it God-given mercy this absence of touch.

           D                       A               D
Should you love me at all, could I love you this much.
[Chorus]
        Bm                               G                A
And I'm hearing your heart beat from the distance of memory.

         Bm                       G              A
And with half of my heart I respect your sad call.

        Bm                             G            A
You can be who you are through this time of your trouble.

     Bm                          G        A             D
This time that we're sharing before         the last fall.
[Verse 3]
        D                              Bm
And as I sit here and wonder about the fate of my being,

        D                       A         D
And the weight of my seeing you so far away.

                                Bm
But I refuse to go under this part of my loneliness,

            D                 A            D
When all of this heartache is heading my way.
[Verse 4]
        D                        Bm
I'm seeing your soul through the eyes of eternity,

     D                    A          D
When all my resistance is fading away.

                                    Bm
And from the depths of this hole I can deal with your agony,

         D          A        D
Hoping to help you in any way.
[Chorus]
        Bm                               G                A
And I'm hearing your heart beat from the distance of memory.

         Bm                       G              A
And with half of my heart I respect your sad call.

        Bm                             G            A
You can be who you are through this time of your trouble.

     Bm                          G        A             D
This time that we're sharing before         the last fall.
[Verse 5]
           D                        Bm
And from where I am standing, what looks like adversity

       D          A             D
May be anxiety wrapped up in fear.

                             Bm
Or failing to recognize the heartbeat of someone,

           D                  A               D
Of someone who wants you and sees you so clear.
[Verse 6]
        D                              Bm
I can only tell you to follow your feelings,

       D                     A             D
And follow your heart to the end of the road.

                                 Bm
And you may find out when you finally get there.

           D           A               D
And open a window or close all the doors.
[Chorus]
        Bm                               G                A
And I'm hearing your heart beat from the distance of memory.

         Bm                       G              A
And with half of my heart I respect your sad call.

        Bm                         G           A
You can be who you are in this time of your trouble.

     Bm                          G        A             D
This time that we're sharing before         the last fall.
