Little Sweet Loss

        Em                      C 
She was smiling in the sun at a sidestreet café
          G                       D
She had a love in her eyes and an ease in her way
         Em                   C 
Like her soul was lit up, her heart rung like a bell
G                              D 
I’ll never know her name but I remember her well


Chorus:
              G
People you’re passing on the street
            C
They’re the friends you may never meet
    G
And everybody’s paid the cost
     D      C     G
Of a little sweet loss


In a downstairs honky tonk, a kindly old gentleman
Sitting at a table alone, a picture of a dog in his hand
He wiped away a tear and I’ll never know just why
What thought going through his head was enough to make him cry

Chorus 


Bridge:
                  Am                  G    
There’s something going on forever in everything around
Am                   G
Connecting everyone, every sight and sound
      Am                             Em
I can see through a glass darkly but someday face to face
     Am                       C           D  
What do I hope to find by the end of this race


Looking out from a black and white picture that itself is fifty years old
Sitting at a desk in St. Louis talking on the radio
A girl at twenty five, she hopes to realize her dreams
She and I are not so different, there’s just some time and space between
