For The Heart I Once Had

Nightwish

B
Heaven today has gone away
                  Gmi
To a place I once called home
B
Heart of a child, one final sigh
           F
As another love goes cold

B
Once my heart beat to the
              Gmi
Rhythm of the falling snow
B
Blackened below, the river now flows
                 F
A stream of mountain virgin snow

        Gmi              F
For the heart I'll never have
        F              Gmi
For the child forever gone
          Gmi              Fmi
The music flows because it longs
        F            Gmi
For the heart I once had

Even today, with all the pains
To understand the weight of the world
Faded and torn, old and forlorn
My weak and hoping heart
For the child, for the night
For the heart I once had
I believe and foresee
Everything I could ever be

For the heart I'll never have
For the child forever gone
The music flows because it longs
For the heart I once had

Time will not heal
A dead boy's scars
Time will kill

For the heart I'll never have
For the child forever gone
The music flows because it longs
For the heart I once had
