C
There's a windchime in my yard

C
"In loving memory" it reads

  Em
I think of you every time I hear it sing

    Fmaj7
Its ringing reminds me of your love for life

      F
I can only hope to imitate your peacefulness in time

    F
The wildflowers are blooming and you're not around

  C
I bury my feelings like roots underground

       Fmaj7
You've moved on to Heaven and I know that you're home

        Am
But the redbuds are blooming

    G       C
And I'm all alone

C
Spotted a cardinal outside my window

C
Deep red among the snow

  Em
I prayed for God to tell you 'cause I thought you'd like to know

A million small beauties that you aren't here to see

     Fmaj7
I'll try to take in enough for you and for me

    F
The wildflowers are blooming and you're not around

  C
I bury my feelings like roots underground

       Fmaj7
You've moved on to Heaven and I know that you're home

        Am
But the redbuds are blooming

    G       C
And I'm all alone

      F
Now I know that where you are is best

  F
I know that you're loved

      Em
But I wish that you were here with me

   F
To hear your favorite mourning doves

   F
The wildflowers are blooming and you're not around

  C
I bury my feelings like roots underground

       Fmaj7
You've moved on to Heaven and I know that you're home

        Am
But the redbuds are blooming
