I am a dreamer and when i
wake, You can't break my spirit - it's my dreams you take. And as you move on, remember me, Remember us and all we used to be |
g |
And I still hold your hand in mine. In mine when I'm asleep. And I will bare my soul in time, When I'm kneeling at your feet. |
| b | [x2] Goodbye my lover. Goodbye my friend. You have been the one. You have been the one for me. |
h |
I've
kissed your lips and held your hand. Shared your dreams and shared your bed. I know you well, I know your smell. I've been addicted to you. |
| c |
So I took what's
mine by eternal right. Took your soul out into the night. It may be over but it won't stop there, I am here for you if you'd only care. |
i |
I know your fears and you
know mine. We've had our doubts but now we're fine, And I love you, I swear that's true. I cannot live without you. |
| d |
I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so
hollow. I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow. I'm so hollow, baby, I'm so hollow. I'm so, I'm so, I'm so hollow. |
j |
I've seen you cry, I've
seen you smile. I've watched you sleeping for a while. I'd be the father of your child. I'd spend a lifetime with you. |
| e |
You touched
my heart you touched my soul. You changed my life and all my goals. And love is blind and that I knew when, My heart was blinded by you. |
k |
[x2] Goodbye my lover. Goodbye my friend. You have been the one. You have been the one for me. |
| f |
Did I disappoint you or let you down? Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown? 'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun, Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won. |
l |
I know your fears and you
know mine. We've had our doubts but now we're fine, And I love you, I swear that's true. I cannot live without you. |

before we'd begun
if you'd only care
I'd be the father of your child
I'd spend a lifetime with you
'd can be the short form both for 'had' and for 'would'. How can you distinguish it?
In the above examples, which ones are 'had' and which ones are 'would'?
