You and I, walking slowly Hand in hand, footprints in the sandWatch the wind as it plays Throwing shadows across your faceThe sky was so blue Your eyes so greenThe air glittering So sudden, so swiftLove came to us just like a gift I lived here, you lived far awayOur lives called us back No, we could not stayThe sad sort of smile You took my handSaid, while we're apart You hope I understand thatYou'll be holding me And I'll be holding youThrough those long nights My love will be pulling you throughWhen you see the stars Pretend they're my armsWhen you feel the air That is me kissing you thereSay you love me I will say I love youNo distance could ever make that untrue When I'm far awayI'll reach through time and space When you hear the windYou'll hear me saying I love you foreverFast forward our love story I still remember that dayHer small precious face You stared into her eyesHypnotized by her smile But your job meant you had to travelBut we weren't ready for you to go You held our daughterWith a sad sort of smile Said, while we're apartI want you to know that You'll be holding meAnd I'll be holding you Through those long nightsMy love will be pulling you through When you see the starsPretend they're my arms When you feel the airThat is me kissing you there Say you love meI will say I love you No distance could ever make that untrueWhen I'm far away I'll reach through time and spaceWhen you hear the wind You'll hear me sayingI love you forever God forbid there'll come a dayWhen the light in my eyes fades away But from your heart I will not goNo bounds shall my spirit know Cause you'll be holding meAnd I'll be holding you Through those long nightsMy love will be pulling you through When you see the starsPretend they're my arms When you feel the airThat is me kissing you there Say you love meAnd I will say I love you No distance could ever make that untrueWhen I'm far away I'll reach through time and spaceWhen you hear the wind You'll hear me sayingI love you forever You'll be holding meAnd I'll be holding you Through those long nightsMy love will be pulling you through When you see the starsPretend they're my arms When you feel the airThat is me kissing you there Say you love meAnd I will say I love you No distance could ever make that untrueWhen I'm far away I'll reach through time and spaceWhen you hear the wind You'll hear me sayingI love you forever
