Am                 C 
I trace your shade with fingers soft
               F             Dm
and watch my name be held along
             G
To what is this
           Em
To be compared
            F                   G
So fairly skinned, so short of air

            Am                 C
To wearing out, to what is shared
          F               Dm
So very thin, I'm barely there
             G              Em
Nor here I plead for when I do
               F               G  
I loved you dearly dear, it's true

        Am               C
To be erased, at once removed
          F                  Dm  
To be replaced at once, in bloom
             G
What I once saw
                   Em
That sight I have seen
           F          G
Becomes invisible to me
