🎶 Before You Walk

It [Eb]was a [Db]long long [A#]time A [Eb]long long [Db]time a[A#]go
Met [Eb]someone [Db]very [D#]special Who [A7]is [Eb]not here [Db]any[A#]more
And I was [Eb]greeted [Db]with a [D#]smile,
[A7]And she [Eb]asked, “Why are you [Db]worrying, [A#]child?” [A7]
You [Eb]need to [Db]go ad[D#]venture, my [A7]dear “So [Eb]shall we” [Db]I re[A#]ply

You need to [Em]cry a bit Before you [Fbm]get to smile
Travel a [A#]million miles Before you [A7]realize
That [Eb]what you were looking [Db]for Has been with [D#]you all this [A7]time
You need to [Eb]fall a lot Before you [Fbm]learn to walk
Say lots of [D#]silly things Before you [A7]really talk
And [Eb]sometimes you have to [Em]close your eyes And [Db]simply trust your heart

I [Eb]still re[Db]member [A#]those old [Bb]days [Eb]Spent out [Db]on the [A#]porch
We [Eb]used to [Db]closely [A#]watch the [A7]sky [Eb]Catch stars [Db]while they [A#]fall
These [Eb]stars are [Db]just like [A#]us That's [Em]what she [Db]loved to [A#]say [A7]
We [Eb]have to [Db]shine for [A#]others [A7]...[Eb]Illumi[Db]nate their [A#]way

You need to [Em]cry a bit Before you [Fbm]get to smile
Travel a [A#]million miles Before you [A7]realize
That [Eb]what you were looking [Db]for Has been with [D#]you all this [A7]time
You need to [Eb]fall a lot Before you [Fbm]learn to walk
Say lots of [D#]silly things Before you [A7]really talk
And [Eb]sometimes you have to [Em]close your eyes And [Db]simply trust your heart

And some[Em]times It can be [Fbm]hard Life can [D#]deal some lousy [A7]cards
But one [Eb]day they knock you [Db]out the next they're [A#]shoothing you to [A7]Mars
You need to [Em]cry a bit Before you [Fbm]get to smile
Travel a [A#]million miles Before you [A7]realize
That [Eb]what you were looking [Db]for Has been with you all this [A#]time⠀
