G		Em		C		D	
In the realm of a young girl, a future so bright,
G		Em		C		D	
She had dreams, a fine figure, and endless time in sight.
G		Em		C		D	
Now she's a grandma, adored by her dear grandkids,
G		Em		C		D	
Yet they fear holding her tight, some will not take the risk

G		Em			C	(D)
Oh, in her guise, her illness remains unseen,
G		Em			C	(D)
She sips her wine, with a smile so serene.
G		Em			C	(D)
But when I ask about wounds, time can mend,
G		Em			C	(D)
We're left in silence, unsure how this tale will end.

C		D		G		Em
Underneath the moon's dark cloak, a sadness stirs,
C		D		G		Em
Four arms embrace, their love a balm that reassures.
C		D		G		Em
She's long embraced the weight of her plight,
C		D		C	D	G
But she won't bid farewell to this world tonight.

G		Em		C		D	
A taxi ride she takes, from the bar to her abode,
G		Em		C		D	
I ask to join, for her thoughts she must unload.
G		Em		C		D	
Just a short journey, as she shares her mind's strife,
G		Em		C		D	
Those fleeting thoughts she carries, as she fights for her life.

G		Em			C	(D)
"Do you remember?" she asks, eyes glistening with tears,
G		Em			C	(D)
I reply, "Never forgotten, through all the fears."
G		Em			C	(D)
There's a certain hat at her place, a cherished token,
G		Em			C	(D)
And her cowboy hat hangs on my wall, unbroken.

C		D		G		Em
With caution, I tell the driver, "Keep her safe tonight,
C		D		G		Em
And when you reach Grandpa, give him a warm delight."
C		D		G		Em
I'll honor her wishes, for love will prevail,
C		D		C	D	G
A hug to her beloved, for their bond will never fail.

G		Em			C		(D)
Her name is Life, with death lurking in the haze,
G		Em			C		(D)
Yet she treasures each moment, amidst life's mysterious maze.
G		Em			C		(D)
A tinge of sorrow, desperation in her gaze,
G		Em			C		(D)
No more tests, she whispers, defying fate's craze.

C		D		G		Em
Underneath the moon's dark cloak, a sadness stirs,
C		D		G		Em
Four arms embrace, their love a balm that reassures.
C		D		G		Em
She's long embraced the weight of her plight,
C		D		C	D	G
But she won't bid farewell to this world tonight.
