              C#7+   D#/C   Fm    G#5+/E 
D#m7  G#9/D#   G# 
 
C#7+ 
There, there was a time I knew 
D#/C 
That no matter, what may come, 
Fm    G#5+/E 
love would prevail.  
 
D#m7    G#9/sus4 D#    G#9/D# 
And then inside the dreams I knew 
C#7+ 
Came the question lovers fear 
D#/C 
Can true love fail  
 
Fm    G#5+/E 
Then I would miss the childhood wish 
D#m7    G#9/sus4 D#    G#9/D# 
And haven't I sung to you 
G#m7   C#7 
Of the knight in armor bright  
F#7+ 
Faithful and true to you  
 
Chorus: 
 
G#m    G#m7+    G#m7 
Darling, after all 
F#m7/9    B  
I will be the one to hold you in my arms 
B   C#m   D#sus 
After all  
C#9    C# 
I will be the one to hold you  
 
 
D#m7    G#7 
I will be the one to hold you in my arms  
C#7+ 
In my arms  
G#m    G#m7+   F#7+ 
I know in my heart and mind 
F#7+ (2/4) 
That no matter, come what may, love will survive  
D#m7    G#7 
And love, the author of space and time  
A°     A#m7/9 
Keeps the galaxies and each sparrow alive 
F#     G#/F# 
And the love that heals the wound 
F#     G# 
After the war is through 
G# (2/4) 
Is the knight in armor bright  
Faithful and true to you  
 
Chorus
