When  we die
 Is it just like  sleeping?
 Does the light  mean that it's light  like in air?
 Will I dream?  Will I get to meet Jesus?
   (Fig. 1)
 Or like the Lama will I come right back?
Years  go fast,  live each day like  it's the last
Need  not waste  time asking
Why?  in my life,  no holding back
 Like a whale  with his song
 He sings of the memories  of long  days gone
  (1)  (Fig. 1)
 So do I, sing along, I'll remember you
Years  go fast
 I'm already looking back at  this
Me,  I know  I won't last
 Cause when I cry,  I don't just cry
 I fold in half
 You are loved,  you are loved,  you are lo_______ved
   (Fig. 2)
 You are loved, you are loved, you are lo_______ved
 Instrumental)
 
 
 There's a fear  about leaving  here
 And the devil  you will find
 But if love,  if love is all there ever  was
   (Fig. 1)
 There'll be peace on the other side
Years  go fast
 Live each day  like  it's the la___st
Me,  I'll go  out dancing
 Cause when I die,  I know I'm gonna fly
 Into an angel's hands
 You are loved,  you are loved,  you are lo_______ved
   (Fig. 2)
 You are loved, you are loved, you are lo_______ved
 You are lo_______ved

[Am]Years go [Em]fast, live each [F]day [Fm]like it's the [C/G]last   [G]
[Am]Need not [G]waste time [C/G]asking
[Dm6]Why? in my [Em]life, no holding [Am]back[Am/B]        [F]

Like a [C/G]whale with his [Em]song
He sings of the [F]memories of [Fm]long days g[C/G]one     [G]
      [C/G]     [Em](1)         [F]  [Fm]  [C/G]   (Fig. 1)
So do I, sing along, I'll remember you

[Am]Years go [Em]fast
I'm already [F]look[Fm]ing [C/G]back [G]at this
[Am]Me, I [G]know I won't [C/G]last
Cause when I [Dm6]cry, I don't just [Em]cry
I fold in [Am]half[Am/B]        [F]

You are [C/G]loved, you are [Em]loved, you are [F]lo[Fm]___[C/G]____[G]ved
        [C/G]            [Em]             [F] [Fm] [C/G] (Fig. 2)

There's a [C/G]fear about [Em]leaving here
And the [F]dev[Fm]il you will f[C/G]ind   [G]
But if [C/G]love, if love is all there [Em]ever was
            [F]            [Fm]    [C/G]   (Fig. 1)
