A#m F#
When I'm gone
Hear my song
A#m F#
no need to wonder if I ever think of you
still think of me the way you've come to think of me
A#m F# A#m F#
the same moon shines, the same wind blows
the nights grow long, but dreams live on
A#m F#
for both of us when time is but a paper moon -
just close your pretty eyes and you can be with me -
F7
be not gone
Dream on! (Chorus in Japanese repeat)
A#m F# A#m
Though I'm gone it's just as though
F#
I hold the flower that touches you
A#m F#
a new life grows
A#m F# A#m
the blossom knows there's no one else
F#
could warm my heart as much as you
F7
be not gone
Chorus:

Let us cling together as the years go by

oh my love my love

In the quiet of the night

let our candle always burn
A# F7Sus4 F7 A# F7Sus4 F7
let us never lose the lessons we have learned.
