Misc Originals – Claudio Abba - Pulp Of 40Th (Guitar)

E                B7
Only you can lose me,

A               E
only you can hear me,

E                B7
Only you can hide me,

A               E
only you can feel me.

A
Forty years behind us,

E
passing in a breath,

         A
Climbing through the moments

                  B7
life and love and death.

             E
Love is not a pastime,

E
not a dream or fleeting flame,

E
Love is not a moment,

E
not a kiss or just a name.

E
Love is not a battle,

E
not desire, not violence—

E
Love is made of patience,

E
truth and quiet silence.

E                  B7
When I first had met you,

A               E
I was wild and free,

E                  B7
Feet upon the ground but

A               E
my head in fantasy.

A
Then I chose a future,

E
chose a life with you,

A
And we married simply,

             B7
knowing it was true.

       E
Love is not a pastime,

E
not a dream or fleeting flame,

E
Love is not a moment,

E
not a kiss or just a name.

    A
Love is never easy,

A
it demands devotion,

    E
Love is always giving,

E
never expectation.

    A
Love is not a habit

A
you can smoke away,

    B7
Love has its commandments,

B7
guiding every day

E                  B7
Only you can break me,

A               E
only you can heal me,

E                  B7
Only you can shield me,

A               E
only you can feel me.

A
We have raised two children,

E
nearly forty now

A
Through the storms and troubles,

          B7
we survived somehow.

     E
Love is not a pastime,

E
not a dream or fleeting flame,

E
Love is not a moment,

E
not a kiss or just a name.

A
But we made it through

A
because we walked together,

E
Side by side in sunshine,

E
side by side in weather.

B7
Every day I choose you,

B7
even as I age,

A
Forty years behind us
