Vhaarev Na

Baruch Levine

Note: This song requires a long voice 
range. Consider singing with child and 
adult vocals.

Capo 0-6
     Am                  G
They lift him on their shoulders 
     C                 Dm
and bring him to the cheder
          F
Where he licks the honey off the letters 
Em
of the aleph-bais,
          Am                 G
And with tears they pray to Heaven 
            C              Dm
for their precious little gem,
         F           G
May the Torah always be this sweet, 
  Em          Am
Vhaarev Na Hashem

    Am               G
But as the boy grows older 
     C                Dm
and Gemara leads his day
     F
That passion for his Torah learning 
Em
slowly fades away
         Am                 G
For he struggles with each sugya 
        C             Dm
and he tires from despair
    F             G
If gemara is so challenging 
        Em           Am
does it even pay to care

Chorus
  F
Vhaarev Na Hashem 
         C
Make it sweet for us again
         Dm
Like the honey that we tasted years 
   Am
before
              F
Because each word is ours to own 
          C
until we feel it in our bones
           Dm
And we'll want to keep on 
Em                 Am
learning more and more

  F
Vhaarev Na Hashem, 
     C
Oy Vhaarev Na Hashem
         Dm
So your Torah will forever pierce the 
Am
heart
      F
Be mesayem and return 
        C
to the words we love to learn
        Dm
For we never feel 
     Em              Am
complete when we're apart

  Am           G
A tiny ray of hope 
 C              Dm
soon begins to show
          F
When his Rebbe says Chazara is 
     Em
the key to help you grow
         Am           G
To gain clarity and cheishek 
          C            Dm
you must constantly review
            F               G
And you'll love to learn gemara when 
     Em                 Am
the words speak back to you

        Am            G
With chazara of his learning 
      C          Dm
his spirit is revived
        F
As the words of Torah penetrate 
      Em
and slowly come alive
       Am           G
His excitement is rekindled 
            C                Dm
and he's shteiging with his peers
        F                 G
He can finally feel that passion 
          Em                 Am
that was lost for all those years


Chorus
        Dm
Oh the power that we share 
             Am
as words of Torah fill the air
           Dm               G
Could you imagine that we'd ever come 
      Am
this far
         Dm
And the nachas that we'll see 
            Am
might have never come to be
       C               Em        Am
If we didn't know how capable we are

Chorus

End chorus (slightly different chords):
  F
Vhaarev Na Hashem 
     Em
Oy Vhaarev Na Hashem
      Bb
I can sit and learn as hours pass me 
Am
by
          F
And my gemara, now worn-out 
         C
I could never be without
       Dm
For I finally feel that 
  Em               Am
sweetness from on High
