[G] [Bm] [E] [Em] [Dm] [C]
[Bm] [Am] [C]
[G] [Bm] When was the last [Em] time that they [Dm] heard you say
[Em] [Bm] Mother [Am] or father I love you
[G] And [Bm] when was the last [Em] time that they heard [G] you say
[C] [G] Daughter [C] or son I love you [Em] One
You [G] say you cherish every day
[C] And
[B] Instantly be taken away [E] Then
You [C#m] say I know this can't be true
[Am] When you never took the time
Simply [C] tell them I love you
[G] [Bm] When was the last [Em] time that they [G] heard you say
[C] [Bm] Sister [Am] or brother I love you
[G] And [Bm] when was the last [Em] time that they [G] heard you say
[C] [G] Darling [Am] or best friend I love you [Em] The one
For [G] whom you give your very life [C] Good
Be taken [B] in the twinkling of an eye
[E] True
Your [C#m] tears you'd ask why did you go
[Am] Knowing you didn't always show
Just how [G] much you love

These

[Bm] [A]
[D] [G] [Am]

[G] [C] [Am] Oh
And making hot to [E] smile inside
I know a family [Am] who hasn't a sin to the name
[Bm] And [C#m] yet the joy [F#] and love they have [Bm] between them they always claim
[Em] And when one's called from [A] life to survive on [F#m] the loss, it will never [Bm] be the same
[Em] Yet they rejoice [A] in knowing that
[C] [D] [Bm] [C#m]
[B] [F#] Sweet
