Dm C Bb F Looking through some photographs I found inside a drawer Dm C Bb F I was taken by a photograph of you Dm C Bb F There were one or two I know that you would have liked a little more Dm C Bb F But they didn't show your spirit quite as true Am F You were turning 'round to see who was behind you Am C C/Bb And I took your childish laughter by surprise Bb/F Dm And at the moment that my camera happened to find you Gm Bb F There was just a trace of sorrow in your eyes Dm C Bb F Now the things that I remember seem so distant and so small Dm C Bb F Though it hasn't really been that long a time Dm C Bb F What I was seeing wasn't what was happening at all Dm C Bb F Although for a while, our path did seem to climb Am F But when you see through love's illusions, there lies the danger Am C C/Bb And your perfect lover just looks like a perfect fool Bb/F Dm So you go running off in search of a perfect stranger Gm Bb While the loneliness seems to spring from your life F C/E Dm C/E Dm C Like a fountain from a pool Bb F/C A/C# Dm ( C ) Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light Bb F/C A/C# Dm ( C ) You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight Bb F/C A/C# Dm You've had to hide sometimes, but now you're all right F/C Bb/C And it's good to see your smiling face tonight

Dm C Bb F Now for you and me it may not be that hard to reach our dreams Dm C Bb F But that magic feeling never seems to last Dm C Bb And while the future's there for anyone to change, still you know it's F seems Dm C Bb F It would be easier sometimes to change the past Am F I'm just one or two years and a couple of changes behind you Am C C/Bb In my lessons at love's pain and heartache school Bb/F Dm Where if you feel too free and you need something to remind you Gm Bb There's this loneliness springing up from your life F C/E Dm C/E Dm C Like a fountain from a pool Bb F/C A/C# Dm ( C ) Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light Bb F/C A/C# Dm ( C ) You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight Bb F/C A/C# Dm You've had to hide sometimes but now you're all right F/C Bb/C And it's good to see your smiling face tonight

Bb F/C A/C# Dm ( C ) Fountain of sorrow, fountain of light Bb F/C A/C# Dm ( C ) You've known that hollow sound of your own steps in flight Bb F/C A/C# Dm ( C ) You've had to struggle, you've had to fight Bb F/C A/C# Dm ( C ) To keep understanding and compassion in sight Bb F/C A/C# Dm ( C ) You could be laughing at me, you've got the right Bb F/C A/C# Dm ( C ) But you go on smiling so clear and so bright
