 Waiting for Julia to die, I've cried all the tears I can cry.
 C                              Em
 I've spent all these years with her by my side, 
         F             G7         C
 Now I'm watching her learning to fly.

 C                         Em                        
 We met in the day when we promised to stay
          F                       G7
but she's mostly away, somewhere else
C                          Em   
 I could leave too, maybe find someone new
     F           G7        C
 but how could I live with myself.

    Am                            Em
 We roamed 'round the world, as such was our world
         F                              G
 and we laughed with each other through life.
    Am                       Em
 We faced all the perils and weathered the storms,
        F                         G                 
 ah but this one's too big to get by.

Now I'm waiting for Julia to die, I've cried all the tears I can cry.
I've spent all my years with her by my side, 
Now I'm watching her learning to fly.

Sometimes she's here, sometimes she's aware and 
sometimes she drifts far away.
Sometimes a smile, well it crosses her face 
as she dreams in her own special place

Now I'm waiting for Julia to die, I've cried all the tears I can cry.
I've spent all my years with her by my side, 
Now I'm watching her learning to fly.
