Like the rocket - flying to the moon - you were the hydrogen - of my child time years 20

In nineteen fifty eight - you smiling in a - world made of sun 15

E                                        B7                        E         

Sepia photos - old now - you looking so - very young 15

The very best thing you - gave to me was the - gift to be free 15

E                                                B7                                    E

to choose my own thoughts and - my own - truths and to - simply be me 15

         E                 A                        E                    D#           D                   B7              

It takes inner - warmth and confidence - to allow another - person to be free 20

E              A          E      A              E           A       B7         E   

and now I’m constantly striving to give that which you gave to me 16
