When the Emperor lost his bride
Dmaj7 Fdim [A]
At first he lay in bed and cried
A C#m
Till she came to him in a dream
Dmaj7 Fdim
With words of consolation
Dmaj7
‘Death is untrue, I’m merely sleeping
Asus4 A C#m
I’m waiting for you, in a world way beyond weeping
Dmaj7 Fdim
Join me there soon, until you’re mine
C#m F#sus4 F#m C#m
Build me a marble Valentine
Bm7 E7sus4 [Dmaj7]
Let the world know, grief built the Taj Mahal’

When the Emperor rubbed his eyes
Dmaj7 Fdim [A]
An azure morning filled the skies
A C#m
Energized by his dream,
Dmaj7 Fdim
The Emperor was moved to
Dmaj7
Summon his men, he ordered them ‘Find me
Asus4 A C#m
The whitest of stone, let its radiance remind me
Dmaj7 Fdim
Of all I have lost, the source of my pain
C#m F#sus4 F#m C#m
The joy that in time I will regain

What is the price of love unlost [?)
