Dm                 A#
I'm following the sun
                       F
That's setting in the West
We're floating on a bed of fading lights
Dm             A#
A canopy of trees
                       F
Bears witness to the breeze
I'm falling like a feather, soft and light

Dm            A#         F
Baby, there's no better time
                                Dm
No better time, baby, we can't find
          C             A#
Oh-whoa-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa

Chorus:
       C
With eternal love, the stars above
Dm
All there is and ever was
  A#
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all
    C
A blade of grass, a grain of sand
    Dm
The moonlit sea, to hold your hand
   A#
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all

The embers of a fire still burning as they die
Stay bright to keep us side by side

Baby, there's no better time
No better time, baby, we can't find
Oh-whoa-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa

Chorus - x2

We got the sunshine

We got the shade

I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all
