    Am    C        G         Em
She lies asleep in cold gray light
    F            Dm     E      E
The night's dark tide recedes
    Am     C           G       Em  
And who perceives this perfect sight?
    F        G      Am         Am
I'm watching as she breathes
    Am     C        G     Em
She cannot know the way I am
     F     Dm       E     E
It's hard enough to be
    Am       C       G       Em
She does not feel my eyes on her
  F        G           Am     Am     Em    Em
A finger's length from me

F       G  Am             Am
...Fair-y, let your magic stay
F       G     Am         Am
...Fair-y, if only for a day
F       G  Am                Am    Am   E
...Fair-y, please don't fly away - ay - ay....

It's rare enough to find her here
Her kind is scarcely seen
In em'rald mists and children's tales
She comes from in between

Fair-y, let your magic stay
Fair-y, if only for a day
Fair-y, please don't fly away - ay - ay....

The sun begins to kiss the trees
I fear she'll soon be gone
One touch to hold her mem'ry dear
As she outshines the dawn

Fair-y, let your magic stay
Fair-y, if only for a day
Fair-y, please don't fly away - ay - ay....
