1. In the bittersweet silence, wind, don’t hide in the trees,

C F Am G

birds, don’t give up your song, bees, your humming don’t cease.

C F Am D

You’re the prize that’s been won, and the price that’s been paid.

C F Am G

by the ones gone before for the ones that remained.

C G Am G

2. In the bittersweet silence, children, don’t stop your play,

C F Am G

lovers, don’t break your kiss, laughter, don’t go away.

C F Am D

You’re the signposts of life and the pleasures so dear,

C F Am G

to the ones left behind yet in mind always near.

3. So don’t stare at the ground as the seconds pass by,

C F Am G

and don’t ask “Who” or “How”, ask instead only “Why”.

C F Am D

In the bittersweet silence there’s a lesson untold,

C F Am G

by the ones who stayed young so we’d learn to grow old.

C G C F Am G

Never again ! Never again !

EmDm C F AmG AmD C G C - F - C

Never, never, never, never, never again !
