Lyrics

Hoo. Win ter snow is (F)fall ing down, chil dren laugh ing (Bb)all a round, lights are turn ing on, like a (Cm7)fair y tale come true. Sit ting by the fire we made, you’re the an swer (Bb)when I prayed I would find some (Bb)one; and, (Cm7)ba by, I found you. All I want is to hold you for (Fsus)ev er. All I need is you more ev ’ry day. (Bb)You saved my heart from be ing (Gm)bro ken (Gm)a part. You gave your (Cm7)love a way and I’m thank ful (F7sus)ev ’ry day for the (Bb)gift. Watch ing as you (C)soft ly sleep, what I’d give if (F)I could keep just this mo ment, if (Gm)on ly time stood (C)still. But the col ors fade a way and the years will (F)make us gray, but, ba by, in my (F)eyes, you’ll (Gm)still be beau ti ful. All I want is to hold you for (Csus)ev er. All I need is you more ev ’ry (Csus)day. (F)You saved my heart from be ing (Dm)bro ken (Dm)a part. You gave your (Gm7)love a way and I’m thank ful (C7sus)ev ’ry day for the (F)gift. All I want (Dm)bro ken (Dm)a part. You gave your (Gm7)love a way. I can’t find the (Bb)words to say that I’m (Dm)thank ful (Gm7)ev ’ry day for the (F)gift. (C6)Ooh, ah. Ah, ooh, ooh.
