*from 'Songs In The Key Of Life' (1976)*
*CAPO 4th FRET*
(Original Key: )
Intro:
Do do do do, mmm-mmm-mmm,
Do do do, do do do.
Verse 1:
As a-round the sun, the earth knows she's re-volving,
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May.
Just as hate knows love's the cure;
You can rest your mind assure,
That I'll be loving you al-ways.
Verse 2:
As now can't reveal the mystery of to-morrow,
But in passing will grow older every day.
Just as all, is new, you know what I say is true.
That I'll be loving you always.
Chorus 1:
+
Until the rainbow burns the stars out of the sky, (always).
+
Until the ocean covers every mountain high, (always).
+
Until the dolphin flies, and parrots live at sea, (always).
+
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream.
Bridge 1:
Did you know that true love asks for nothing?
Her acceptance is the way we pay.
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee?
To last through for-ever another day.
Verse 3:
Just as time knew to move on since the be-gininning,
And the seasons know exactly when to change.
Just as kindness knows no shame;
Know through all your joy and pain;
That I'll be loving you al-ways.
Verse 4:
As to-day I know I'm living, but to-morrow;
Could make me the past; but that I mustn't fear.
For I'll know deep in my mind;
The love of me I've left be-hind;
That I'll be loving you always.
Chorus 2:
+
Until the day is night and night becomes the day, (always).
+
Until the trees and sea just up and fly a-way, (always).
+
Until the day that 8x8x8 is 4, (always).
+
Until the day, that is the day that are no more, (always).
+
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left, (always).
+
Until the earth just for the sun, denies it-self, (always).
+
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through, (always).
+
Until the day that you are me and I am you, (always).
+
Until the rainbow burns the stars out of the sky, (always).
+
Until the ocean covers every mountain high, (always).
Break:
+
We all know, some-times life's hates and troubles,
+
Can make you wish you were born in a-nother time and space.
+
But you can bet your life, times that, and twice it's double;
+
That God knew ex-actly where he wanted you to be placed.
+
So make sure, when you say you're in it, but not of it,
You're not helping to make this,
+
Earth a place sometimes called Hell.
+
Change your words into truths,
And then change that truth into love,
And maybe our children's grandchildren,
+
And their great-great grandchildren will tell.
Coda:
+
Until the rainbow burns the stars out of the sky, (always).
+
Until the ocean covers every mountain high, (always).
+
Until the dolphin flies, and parrots live at sea, (always).
+
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream.
+
Until the day is night and night becomes the day, (always).
+
Until the trees and sea just up and fly a-way, (always).
+
Until the day that 8x8x8 is 4, (always).
+
Until the day, that is the day that are no more, (always).
+
Until the day the earth starts turning right to left, (always).
+
Until the earth just for the sun, denies it-self, (always).
+
Until dear Mother Nature says her work is through, (always).
+
Until the day that you are me and I am you, (always).
+
Until the rainbow burns the stars out of the sky, (always).
+
Until the ocean covers every mountain high, (always).
(Repeat to Fade)
