Capo 3
I saw the trees change
That golden glittering evening
I fell asleep there
and all around me angels were singing
and I dreamed I was aging away
(2x)
I saw the fu-ture
and I still had all my close friends
I saw my daugh-ter
in love with ponies and roses
she looked just like her mother and
With my heart shining through my chest
I provided her with light to grow
With my heart shining through my chest
I will light her way back home
[chorus]
and I know that life may be passing me by
but I wanna be eighteen forever here
and I hope that life s what I m feeling inside
cause I m gonna be eighteen forever there
and I swear I will do my best
To have the time of my life while I m here
(3x)
When I awoke there
I was overcome with direction
and as I walked home
I remembered lilacs and handsome nights when I
painted my hands with gold
And with my heart shining through my chest
I illuminate the road ahead
But with my heart shining through my chest
I m not ready to take it yet
[Chorus]
and though the road has been laid out and now bends away
can we just be still for a second more?
I know the road will move beneath our frightened feet
even if we decide not to move at all
My heart shining through my chest
I ll put one foot ahead
with my heart shining though my chest
I ll take your hand in mine
and lead you through the night
[chorus]
....
and I swear I will do my best
if you swear you will do your best
we should all swear to do our best
To have the time of our lives while we re here
(3x)
