C            G7       F        C
            Her face was crystal, fair and fine
            F              C        G7
            Her breath was morning, her lips were wine
              F             C                    F
            Her eyes were laughter, her touch divine
            G                          F      C
            Her face was crystal, and she was mine.

            If only she could feel my pain
            But feelin's a burden she can't sustain
            So Like A Summer Thursday, I cry for rain
            To come and turn the ground to green again.

            If only she could hear my song
            'Bout the empty difference 'tween rights and wrongs
            Then I know that I could stand alone
            As well as they, now that she's gone.

                  Repeat 1st verse
