D / / / A / Bm /
G / D / G / A /

          A7                      D
Like the rose that blooms in the wintertime
        D7                     G
As it reaches up through the snow
     A7                  D         G               A
The more life keeps us apart, the more love will grow

Like the seed that grows in the darkness
As it reaches up to the sun
I will always reach out for you, cause you are the one

             D           G        Em               A
I bless the wings that bring you back across the shore
             D               G           Em                 A
If I could touch you now my darling and love you just once more
            G         Em        A
If I could hold you, hold you, hold you
                    G        A               D
I know you'd understand, I know you'd understand

As I cross the bridge by the waterfall
As I make my way by the stars
There's a shadow walking beside me here in my heart

Like the restless wind in the treetops
Like a whispered voice in my ear
I will always be there for you, I will always be here

I bless the wings that bring you back across the shore
If I could touch you now my darling and love you just once more
If I could hold you, hold you, hold you
I know you'd understand, I know you'd understand

G                A             F#m7           G
In a far off wonderland that flashes past my eyes
                    A             F#m7
The kiss of inspiration that was mine
     F                 G         Em               F
The dust of many centuries has blown across this land
                       G                 A
But love will not be scattered like the sand

Like the sunrise over the mountainside
Like the bird that has to be free
There's a part of you that will always be part of me

I bless the wings that bring you back across the shore
If I could touch you now my darling and love you just once more
If I could hold you, hold you, hold you
                    G        A               G
I know you'd understand, I know you'd understand
    A               G        A               D
I know you'd understand, I know you'd understand
