INTRO: 



C Em Am F


C                 Em
You and I walking slowly
        Am                
Hand in hand Footprints in the sand
                     F
Watch the wind as it plays throwing shadows across your face
C              Em
The sky was so blue
              Am
Your eyes so green the air glittering
             F                                     
So sudden, so swift love came to us just like a gift
Dm                       G
I lived here, you lived far away
    Em                          Am                    
Our lives called us back, no we could not stay
       Dm                      Em
With a sad sort of smile you took my hand
     G             
Said while we're apart you hope I understand that


C                                          Em 
You'll be holding me And I'll be holding you
                                                       Am
Through those long nights, my love will be pulling you through
                                                 F
When you see the stars  pretend they're my arms
                                             C        
When you feel the air that is me kissing you there
                                      Em
Say you love me and I will say I love you
                                     Am
No distance could ever make that untrue
                                                    F
When I'm far away I'll reach through time and space

When you hear the wind you'll hear me saying

C          F   G  C       
I love you for - ever


C                     Em
Fast forward our love story 
                       Am                                           
I still remember that day her small precious face 
                    F
You stared into her eyes hypnotized by her smile
Dm                      G
But your job meant you had to travel
    Em                   Am
But we weren't ready for you to go
Dm                            Em
You held our daughter with a sad sort of smile
     G
Said while we're apart I want you to know that


C                                          Em 
You'll be holding me And I'll be holding you
                                                       Am
Through those long nights, my love will be pulling you through
                                                 F
When you see the stars  pretend they're my arms
                                             C        
When you feel the air that is me kissing you there
                                      Em
Say you love me and I will say I love you
                                     Am
No distance could ever make that untrue
                                                    F
When I'm far away I'll reach through time and space

When you hear the wind you'll hear me saying

C          F   G  C       
I love you for - ever


Am                  F
God forbid there'll come a day
         G                Em
When the light in my eyes fades away
Am                   F
But from your hearts I will not go
G
No bounds shall my spirit know, cause


C                                          Em 
You'll be holding me And I'll be holding you
                                                       Am
Through those long nights, my love will be pulling you through
                                                 F
When you see the stars  pretend they're my arms
                                             C        
When you feel the air that is me kissing you there
                                      Em
Say you love me and I will say I love you
                                     Am
No distance could ever make that untrue
                                                    F
When I'm far away I'll reach through time and space

When you hear the wind you'll hear me saying

C          F   G  C       
I love you for - ever
