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
