Youth In Age

G  D    C  G/B  Em

[Verse 1]
                       D
Once I was part of the music I heard
       C         D             Em
On the bough, or sweet between earth and sky
                          D
For joy of the beating of wings on high
C             Bm       Em                  G
My heart shot into the breast of the bird


[Verse 2]
                    D           B7
I hear it now and I see it fly
                     Em
A life in wrinkles, again is stirred
                G        Am
My heart shoots into the breast of the bird
      C              Bm             Em
As it will for sheer love 'till the last long sigh

[Verse 3]
                       D
Once I was part of the music I heard
       C         D             Em
On the bough, or sweet between earth and sky
                          D
For joy of the beating of wings on high
C             Bm       Em                  G
My heart shot into the breast of the bird


[Verse 4]

I hear it now and I see it fly
                     Em
A life in wrinkles, again is stirred
                G        Am
My heart shoots into the breast of the bird

As it will for sheer love 'till the last long sigh
                G        Am
My heart shoots into the breast of the bird

As it will for sheer love 'till the last long sigh
