Yesterday's memories and melodies
Are gone with the wind, so sad
Snow-white her hands and golden her hair
But she's not the one
Out in the emptiness where everything's pale
There is no sign of you, I'm alone
How I wish you would be here, I'm alone
Telling me it's alright

Eb                        F
Come rest your head
Come rest your head
Come rest your head
Come rest your head

(G, F, G)

I'm alone and sadness reigns in my heart
    G        F             G
As long as we live it won't go away
       G      F      C    
We are one but torn apart

Will you still wait for me?

Will you still cry for me?

Proudly it stands
   C              G
Until the world's end

The victorious banner of love
