Lyrics

[Intro]
| G | G/F# | Em7 | Cadd9 |
| G | G/F# | Em7 | Cadd9 |

[Verse 1]
G          D/F#
Close your eyes
         Em7     Cadd9
And just hear me sing 
         G        D/F#
One last long goodbye 
         Em7                        Cadd9
One last song before you spread your     wings

[Pre-Chorus]
        Em7     D5         Cadd9
There's so much left to say
                Em7    D5     A7add11
And before this moment slips away    

[Chorus]
       Cadd9     G   G/F#
What a wonderful life
       Em7                      Cadd9
For as long as you've been at my     side
                      G
And I want you to know
G/F#         Dadd11
I   loved you      so

[Verse 2]
    G          D/F#
The cold night calls
        Em7            Cadd9
And the tears fall like     rain
        G              D/F#
It's so hard letting go
          Em7             Cadd9
Of the one   thing I'll never replace

[Pre-Chorus]
    Em7      D5      Cadd9
And soon you will be gone 
          Em7         D5        A7add11
But these words, they will live on     

[Chorus]
       Cadd9     G   G/F#
What a wonderful life
       Em7                      Cadd9
For as long as you've been at my     side
                      G
And I want you to know
G/F#         D5
I'll miss you  so
               Cadd9              G G/F#
And though our days come to an end
         Em7                       Cadd9
No, I'll never love like this again
                     G G/F#   D5
What a wonderful life      my friend

[Bridge]
Em7 D/F# G G/C# C
Em7 D/F# G G/C# C
Gsus4/F                 Cadd9/E
       And all that I am
           G
You let me be
         Dadd11 Gsus4/F
I will remember you    
                        Cadd9/E
For all that you've done
             G
And given to me
Gsus4/F                Cadd9/E
       Love will remain
              G
This I can see
           Dadd11 Gsus4/F
Now and forever more   
              Cadd9/E
Because of you
             D5
Now I believe
I believe

[Chorus]
       Cadd9     G   G/F#
What a wonderful life
       Em7                      Cadd9
For as long as you've been at my     side
                      G
And I want you to know
G/F#         Dadd11
I   loved you      so
       Cadd9     G   G/F#
What a wonderful life
       Em7                      Cadd9
For as long as you've been at my     side
                      G
And I want you to know
G/F#     D5
I'll miss  you so
               Cadd9              G G/F#
And though our days come to an end
         Em7                   A7add11
No, I'll never love like this again
                 Em7 D/F#
What a wonderful life

[Bridge]
G            G/C#
 A wonderful life
C                 Em7 D/F#
 What a wonderful life
G            G/C#
 A wonderful life

[Outro]
C         Em7        D/F#
 And with one last embrace
       G                          G/C#
As the tears fall like rain you're    gone
C         Em7          D/F#
 And with one last goodbye 
       G                        G/C# C
As you fade out tonight, you're gone
