There’s a song that’s inside

of my soul
f g a g f c
It’s the one that I’ve tried
a a a g f# e d c d

But you sing to me over

So I lay my head back down

And I lift my hands and pray
f f e d e f d
to be only yours
I pray

to be only yours
I know now you’re my only hope

f g a g f c a a a
sing to me the song of the stars
f g a g f c
Of your galaxy dancing
a a a g f# e d c d
and laughing and laughing again
f g a g f c a a a
When it feels like my dreams are so far
f g a g f c
sing to me of the plans
a a a g f# e d c d
that you have for me over again

So I lay my head back down
f f f c e f d
And I lift my hands and pray
f f e d e f d
to be only yours
I pray
f f e d e f f c e f d d c e
to be only yours
I know now you’re my only hope
