Lyrics & Guitar Chords
Chords indicate suggested starting points for each phrase. Adjust changes to fit the performance.
Opening verse
GSometimes when I close my eyes
CFaces come to mind
GOf people who have touched my life
DAlong the paths of time
EmI see a long-lost smile
CI feel an old embrace
GMy chest swells in wistfulness
DAt the memory of a face
Second verse
GFor so many of the people
CWho’ve left marks upon my mind
EmAre no longer with me
DOur journeys no longer align
GI carry moments with me
CMy heart holds traces of their grace
GSometimes when I close my eyes
DI still will see a face
Third verse
EmOften memories bring to mind
CA loved one who’s passed on
GYet many pangs inside my breast
DRecall a living bond
EmPain dances next to pleasure
CWithin this poignant space
GBut I’ll gladly experience sadness
DFor the joy of a loved one’s face
Bridge
CHearts that left their mark on mine
GWith an edifying glow
EmKeep a fire burning deep
DStrengthening my soul
Final verse
GSometimes when I close my eyes
CFaces come to mind
GOf people who have touched my life
DAlong the paths of time
EmI see a long-lost smile
CI feel an old embrace
GMy chest swells in wistfulness
DAt the memory of a face
Outro
GAt the memory of a face
