      G                  Em        G                     Em
1. Sorry, I never told you all I wanted to say

             G                         Em                       F
    and now it's too late to hold you, 'cause you've flown away,

     D          D7
    so far away.

       G                 Em        G              C
2. Never had I imagined living without your smile

    feeling and knowing you hear me, it keeps me alive, alive.
[Chorus]
             G                                  Em
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven,

              G                                Em
like so many friends we've lost along the way.

             G                                     Em       F - D
And I know eventually we'll be together, one sweet da…..y.

                                        G
Eventually we'll sing in (heaven).
[Verse]

3. Darling I never showed you, assumed you'd always be there,

          G                                          Em         F
    and I, I took your presence for granted, but I always cared,

               D                          D7
    and I miss the love we shared.
[Chorus]
C        B7          Em
    Although the sun will never shine the same,

C                    D                         G
    I'll always look to a brighter day, yeah, yeah.

B7                                Em
    Lord, I know when I lay me down to sleep,

     Am                                     D
    you will always listen as I pray
(song moves up half a note to capo 2nd here)
             A                                    D
And I know you're shining down on me from heaven,

              A                               D
like so many friends we've lost along the way,

             A                                       D     G - E
and I know eventually we'll be together, one sweet da…..y.

    Sorry, I never told you, all I wanted to say.
