Intro
You and I walking slowly
Hand in hand Footprints in the sand
Watch the wind as it plays throwing shadows across your face
The sky was so blue
Your eyes so green the air glittering
So sudden, so swift love came to us just like a gift
I lived here, you lived far away
Our lives called us back, no we could not stay
With a sad sort of smile you took my hand
Said while we're apart you hope I understand that
You'll be holding me And I'll be holding you
Through those long nights, my love will be pulling you through
When you see the stars pretend they're my arms
When you feel the air that is me kissing you there
Say you love me and I will say I love you
No distance could ever make that untrue
When I'm far away I'll reach through time and space
When you hear the wind you'll hear me saying
I love you for - ever
Fast forward our love story
I still remember that day her small precious face
You stared into her eyes hypnotized by her smile
But your job meant you had to travel
But we weren't ready for you to go
You held our daughter with a sad sort of smile
Said while we're apart I want you to know that
You'll be holding me And I'll be holding you
Through those long nights, my love will be pulling you through
When you see the stars pretend they're my arms
When you feel the air that is me kissing you there
Say you love me and I will say I love you
No distance could ever make that untrue
When I'm far away I'll reach through time and space
When you hear the wind you'll hear me saying
I love you for - ever
God forbid there'll come a day
When the light in my eyes fades away
But from your hearts I will not go
No bounds shall my spirit know, cause
You'll be holding me And I'll be holding you
Through those long nights, my love will be pulling you through
When you see the stars pretend they're my arms
When you feel the air that is me kissing you there
Say you love me and I will say I love you
No distance could ever make that untrue
When I'm far away I'll reach through time and space
When you hear the wind you'll hear me saying
I love you for - ever
