Lyrics & Chords
Full Song
Verse 1
C G
I’ve heard it said that people come into our lives
Am F
For a reason, bringing something we must learn
C G
And we are led to those who help us most to grow
Am Em F
If we let them and we help them in return
Chorus
C G
Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better
Am Em
But because I knew you
F G
Because I knew you
Am F C
I have been changed for good
Verse 2
C G
It well may be that we will never meet again
Am F
In this lifetime, so let me say before we part
C G
So much of me is made of what I learned from you
Am Em F
You’ll be with me like a handprint on my heart
