[Verse 1]
C                       Am      F                   C
As children we'd throw pebbles into the sparkling stream
C                       Am                  F                   G
And watch the ripples spread and grow just like our hopes and dreams
      Dm              Am               F                   G
We'd cast our eyes up to the sky and watch the clouds go sailing by
Dm               C                 G
But they never seemed to hide the sun


[Verse 2]
     C               Am             F            C
And streams grow to rivers in the summer of our days
C                           Am              F               G
Our hopes and dreams like bridges built to guide us on our way
    Dm                      Am              F          G
We learn that clouds can sometimes bring darkness and rain
Dm               C               G
But we know our sun will shine again


[Bridge]
F           Em     Dm      C
We see the trees standing tall
        Dm                 Am
But we never glimpse the leaves
F                   G
When they start to fall


[Chorus]
    C              C6       C   Am           Fmaj7/A   Am
So light a candle for the dark hold it close to your heart
     F                         G
And let it shine as daylight fades
C               C6       C    Am      Fmaj7/A    Am
Shout my name above the wind as the hurricane begins
   F                        G
So I can find my path back home
   F              G         C
So I can find my path back home


[Verse 3]
      C                Am           F             C
The golden threads of autumn have softly slipped away
C                      Am          F                     G
Trees have shed their leaves and flowers have had their day
     Dm                      Am     F              G
And though the storm clouds gather high above our sun
 Dm              C               G
Still we stand together here as one


[Bridge]
F           Em             C
We see the trees standing bare
     Dm              Am
And hear the winter wind
       F                   G
Whip through the chilling air


[Chorus]
     C              C6      C Am             Fmaj7/A  Am
So light a candle for the dark hold it close to your heart
     F                         G
And let it shine as daylight fades
 C              C6       C    Am      Fmaj7/A     Am
Shout my name above the wind as the hurricane begins
   F                        G
So I can find my path back home
   F              G         C
So I can find my path back home


[Bridge]
     Dm          Em   Dm                C
And though the trees sing their winter song
     Dm             Am
The bridges of our lives
 F                      G
Still stand proud and strong


[Chorus]
    C              C6      C    Am          Fmaj7/A     Am
So light a candle for the dark hold it close to your heart
     F                         G
And let it shine as daylight fades
C              C6        C   Am        Fmaj7/A   Am
Shout my name above the wind as the hurricane begins
   F                        G
So I can find my path back home
   F               G        C
So I can find my path back home
