(Db5)I

Oh, how they shine so bright.

I (Db5)gath er them all so we (Gb5)per fect ly a (Db)lign

while we gaze from far a way

and sep ’rate ly launch the day,

come (Db)ris ing a cross the hor (Gb)i zon in our (Db5)minds.

But now I (Gb)know

my heart is (Gb)strong.

Where you be (Gb)long

is by my side.

So will you (Gb)hold?

’Cause time is (Gb)cold,

but in your (Gb)soul

I’m stand ing by.

Ooh, whoa, (Gb)whoa,

whoa.

Ooh, whoa, (Gb)whoa,

(Db)whoa,

whoa.

(Db)I

have wait ed a thou sand years,

and now that to mor row’s here

I will (Db)shout from the moun tain top.

(Gb)Our hearts be long near.

And we’ve trav eled land and sea,

our bea con the love we keep.

But (Db)when we u nite, this will (Gb)all have been a dream.

And now we (Gb)know

our hearts are (Gb)strong.

Where we be (Gb)long

is side by side.

And so we’ll (Gb)hold

each oth er (Gb)close,

and in our (Gb)souls

we’re stand ing by.

Ooh, whoa, (Gb)whoa,

Ooh, whoa, (Gb)whoa,

Ooh, whoa, (Gb)whoa,

ooh, whoa, (Gb)whoa,

Ooh, whoa, (Gb)whoa,

whoa.

And so we’ll (Gb)hold

each oth er (Gb)close,

and then we’ll (Gb)know
