STANDARD TUNING: EADGBe/NO CAPO
INTRO:
[C] [Em] [Am] [F]
[C]You and I walking [Em]slowly
Hand in [Am]hand Footprints in the sand
Watch the wind as it [F]plays throwing shadows across your face
[C]The sky was so [Em]blue
Your eyes so g[Am]reen the air glittering
So sudden, so[F] swift love came to us just like a gift
[Dm]I lived here, you lived f[G]ar away
Our [Em]lives called us back, no we [Am]could not stay
With a [Dm]sad sort of smile you to[Em]ok my hand
Said [G]while we're apart you hope I understand that
[C]You'll be holding me And I'll be holding yo[Em]u
Through those long nights, my love will be pulling you [Am]through
When you see the stars pretend they're my arms[F]
When you feel the air that is me kissing you [C]there
Say you love me and I will say I love [Em]you
No distance could ever make that untr[Am]ue
When I'm far away I'll reach through time and space[F]
When you hear the wind you'll hear me saying
[C]I love you [F]for [G]- e[C]ver
[C]Fast forward our love [Em]story
I still remember that d[Am]ay her small precious face
You stared into her [F]eyes hypnotized by her smile
[Dm]But your job meant you h[G]ad to travel
But [Em]we weren't ready for [Am]you to go
[Dm]You held our daughter with a s[Em]ad sort of smile
Said [G]while we're apart I want you to know that
[C]You'll be holding me And I'll be holding yo[Em]u
Through those long nights, my love will be pulling you [Am]through
When you see the stars pretend they're my arms[F]
When you feel the air that is me kissing you [C]there
Say you love me and I will say I love [Em]you
No distance could ever make that untr[Am]ue
When I'm far away I'll reach through time and space[F]
When you hear the wind you'll hear me saying
[C]I love you [F]for [G]- e[C]ver
[Am]God forbid there'll [F]come a day
When the [G]light in my eyes [Em]fades away
[Am]But from your hearts [F]I will not go
[G]No bounds shall my spirit know, cause
[C]You'll be holding me And I'll be holding yo[Em]u
Through those long nights, my love will be pulling you [Am]through
When you see the stars pretend they're my arms[F]
When you feel the air that is me kissing you [C]there
Say you love me and I will say I love [Em]you
No distance could ever make that untr[Am]ue
When I'm far away I'll reach through time and space[F]
When you hear the wind you'll hear me saying
[C]I love you [F]for [G]- e[C]ver
