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 forever

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 forever

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 forever
