A
Back there at the old times sometimes you used to cross my street
C#m
You looked in my eyes and I felt like I couldn’t blink
F#m
Once in a while I wished I had the guts to talk with you
D                        E
And I hope after all you know that I would if I could
A
But I was always such a shy kid and you were out of reach
C#m
So every time I saw a falling star I made a wish
F#m
And deep inside I knew someday it has to become true
D                            E
You know I kept my faith in us my whole life through
A
Time goes by and we must wait
C#m
And God works in mysterious ways
F#m
Last week you met somebody new
D          E
And all my world fell down
( A  C#m  F#m  D  E )
( A  C#m  F#m  D  E )
A
A year later you crossed my gate wearing a gold ring
C#m
I heard you both got married in a pleasant day of spring
F#m
And now it has been a while since you packed your things and moved
D                    E
I really hope I have the chance to see you again soon
A
Time goes by and we must wait
C#m
And God works in mysterious ways
F#m
Last week you met somebody new
D          E
And all my world fell down
( A  C#m  F#m  D  E )
( A  C#m  F#m  D  E )
F#m
Then you came back to visit your hometown
Bm
Your daughter had your eyes, your nose, your mouth
F#m                          D                      E
And swear that I felt like I had not a single thing left
A
But you looked at me the same way you did when we were kids
C#m
You said you missed me much and then you kissed me on my cheek
F#m
I looked into your teary eyes and I found out the truth
D                          E
We'll never be together but I'll always be with you
A
Time goes by and we must wait
C#m
And God works in mysterious ways
F#m
Last week you met somebody new
D          E
And all my world fell down
A
Time goes by and we must wait
C#m
And God works in mysterious ways
F#m
Last week you met somebody new
D          E
And all my world fell down
