In the chilly hours and minutes of uncertainty, I want to be
C F G C G
In the warm hold of your loving mind
C F C F
To feel you all around me and to take your hand a-long the sand
C F G C F C G
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
C F C F
When sundown pales the sky, I want to hide a while behind your smile
C F G C G C F
And everywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find. For me to love you now
C F
Would be the sweetest thing, would make me sing
C F G C F C
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.
C F
When rain has hung the leaves with tears
C F
I want you near to kill my fears
C F G C G
To help me to leave all my blues behind
C F C F
For standing in your heart is where I want to be and long to be
C F G C F C G
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
