Intro:  F-Em-Dm-C-Bb-Gm-C
		
F              Em      Dm		
Winter snow is fallin' down 
                  C        Bb
Children laughin' all around 
                   F
Lights are turning on
       Gm                  C
like a fairy tale come true.

F                  Em         Dm
And sittin' by the fire we made 
                  C           Bb
You're the answer when I prayed 
                F
I would find someone 
    Gm            C
but baby I found you.

          Am	     Bb            C
And all I want is to hold you forever 
      Am           Bb          C
All I need is you more every day 
       Am            A
'Cause you saved my heart 
           Dm	     G7
from bein' broken apart
              F
You gave your love away 
                 C
and I'm thankful every day 
	
for the gift.

Instrumental: F-Em-Dm-C-Bb-Gm-C

F                   Em          Dm
And watchin' as you softly sleep 
                  C           Bb
What I'd give if I could keep 
          F
Just this moment 
    Gm            C
if only time stood still.	

F              Em       Dm
But the colors fade away 
                  C           Bb
And the years will make us grey 
                F
But baby in my eyes 
       Gm                C
You'll still be beautiful.
 
          Am         Bb          C
And all I want is to hold you forever 
      Am          Bb         C
All I need is you more every day 
       Am            A
'Cause you saved my heart 
           Dm	     G7
from bein' broken apart
              F
You gave your love away 
                 C
and I'm thankful every day 
          F-Em
for the gift.

Instrumental: D-C-D-C-Bb-Gm-C  D-C-F-Bb-Gm-C
              
          Am         Bb          C
And all I want is to hold you forever 
          Am          Bb         C
And all I need is you more every day 
       Am           A
'Cause you saved my heart 
           Dm	     G7
from bein' broken apart
              F
You gave your love away 
                 C
and I'm thankful every day 
	
for the gift.
