Love of two  is one

[Pre-Chorus]
F             G           Am
Came the last night of sadness
       F             E7            Am G
And it was clear she couldn't go on
         F             G              Am    G
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
    F           G          Am    G
The candles blew then disappeared
    F            G          Am
The curtains flew then he appeared,
       G            F
saying don't be afraid

[Chorus]
G         Am          G
Come on baby, and she had no fear
F G            Am
   And she ran to him,
          G             F
then they started to fly
            G                 Am
They looked backward and said goodbye,
          G             F
she had become like they are
        G
She had taken his hand,
Am            G         F
she had become like they are

[Outro]
