"Carnations" by Emile Vernon

        "You are who I was meant for...
        meant to spend my life with...
        meant to share all my dreams and aspirations...
        It's you and only you..."

        October 3, 1998

        D                   G
        
        Lady, are you crying?
        
                    D                    G
        
        Do the tears belong to me?
        
                     D            F#m   Bm 
        
        Did you think our time together
        
                     Em    A7
        
        Was all gone?
        
        D                           G
        
        Lady, you've been dreaming
        
                   D                  G
        
        I'm as close as I can be
        
                  D          Bm         Em  
        
        And I swear to you our time
        
               A7      D   D7
        
        Has just begun.
        G                              A                     D   D7
        
        Close your eyes and rest your weary mind
        
            G                   A7                          D   D7
        
        I promise I will stay right here beside you
        
             G                          A                         D
        
        Today our lives were joined, became entwined
        
                  Bm
        
        And I wish that you could know 
        
                            Em   A7
        
        How much I love you.
        Lady, are you happy?
        
        Do you feel the way I do?
        
        Are there meanings that you've never
        
        Seen before?
        
        Lady, my sweet lady,
        
        I just can't believe it's true
        
        And it's like I've never
        
        ever loved before.
        Close your eyes and rest your weary mind.
        
        I promise I will stay right here beside you.
        
        Today our lives were joined, became entwined,
        
        And I wish you could know how much I love you.
        Lady, are you crying?
        
        Do the tears belong to me?
        
        Did you think our time together
        
        Was all gone?
        
        Lady, my sweet lady,
        
        I'm as close as I can be
        
        And I swear to you our time
        
        Has just begun...
